The committee chose to focus on Venezuela in a year where U.S. President Donald Trump featured heavily in speculation as to the overall winner, given his unceasing efforts to bring peace to a variety of conflicts around the world.
Trump said previously it would be an “insult” to the United States if he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize and he has been backed in his quest by a host of other nations, as Breitbart News reported.
“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,” the committee stated in their announcement of the 2025 winner.
Machado was one of 338 candidates for the coveted prize, among them 244 individuals and 94 organisations.
The 58-year-old industrial engineer has been in hiding since August 2024, fearing for her safety after threats from supporters of the dictatorship led by President Nicolás Maduro.
Machado has refused to leave the country even though the Maduro government has repeatedly threatened her with arrest.
The Nobel Peace Prize, worth 11 million Swedish crowns, or about $1.2 million, is due to be presented in Oslo on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel, who founded the awards in his 1895 will.
Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize previously in 2020 by Swedish lawmaker Magnus Jacobson for his efforts during his first term in office to mediate peace between Kosovo and Serbia.
His work in normalizing relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was also cited as was his broader efforts in 2025.

The Nobel committee can’t afford comparisons to the toilet puck they award to Obama.

Putin responds to President Trump not winning the Nobel Peace Prize:
“This award lost credibility. The committee discussed the prize for people who have done nothing for the world.”
“He (President Trump) solves complex problems, crises that last for decades.”
apparently greta thunberg was just runner-up ...
Nobel is nothing a pile Leftest garbage
Thanks to Obozo, the Nobel Prize has been trivialized and politically destroyed.
well, Maduro is still a client of Putin, so there’s that.
Is she a Communist?
The Nobel Peace Prize is no honor.
The Peace prize lost any meaning or serious consideration after giving The One a prize for breathing.
Did anybody really believe a noble would go President Trump?
I’m actually GLAD it didn’t....it just further exposes the bias within that corrupt committee.
After all, who wants the same award that was given to a leftvwing minority just because he’s breathing?
“Thanks to Obozo, the Nobel Prize has been trivialized and politically destroyed.”
Yes. The Nobel group discredited themselves for giving Obamalamadingdong the award for simply running for the Presidency. It was obvious and ridiculous then as it is now. Never forgot.
TDS runs long, wide, and deep.
Well, they ignored ones like Nixon and Reagan and gave a prize to Arafat instead.
Who really cares what 5 random Norwegians think?
It’s for the best.
Trump may now walk away from the Nobel group, shaking the dust from his sandals as he does so.
> The Nobel Peace Prize is no honor.<
In this case it’s a participation trophy. She tried.
EC
Screw the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s as meaningless as an Oscar or Time’s Man of the Year. Who cares!?
