Washington DC: In a major setback for US President Donald Trump's Nobel Peace Prize campaign, Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado got the award. Notably, for months, Trump was claiming that was the most deserving candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize 2025.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee called Machado a "brave and committed champion of peace." The committee said, "She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."
