Nobel Peace Prize Winner Dedicates Award to Trump
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Venezuelan democracy activist Maria Corina Machado, dedicated her award to Donald Trump. After receiving the honor, Machado posted on X that she dedicated the prize “to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause.”
She praised Trump’s backing for democracy in Latin America and said that his efforts inspired people worldwide. Machado emphasized that the people of Venezuela and other democratic nations counted on the United States and Trump’s leadership to help achieve freedom and justice.
Donald Trump Responds to Machado’s Dedication
Reacting to Machado’s remarks, Donald Trump confirmed that she personally called him after winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump said she told him that she accepted the award “in honor of you, because you really deserved it.” Trump described the gesture as “a very nice thing to do.”
He also mentioned that Machado might have given him the award if he had asked, adding humorously, “I didn’t say, ‘Then give it to me,’ though I think she might have.” Trump’s comments came as global reactions poured in, acknowledging his diplomatic involvement in peace efforts.
While announcing the award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said it selected Maria Corina Machado for her role as one of the “courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist authoritarian leadership.” The committee praised her commitment to democracy and human rights in Venezuela.
Global leaders and democracy advocates welcomed the decision, calling it a victory for those who fight oppression. The committee’s announcement coincided with Sharif’s public endorsement of Trump, linking both moments to ongoing global discussions about peace, leadership, and resistance against authoritarian regimes.
