Nobel Peace Prize 2025: US President Donald Trump got angry after being left out of the Nobel Peace Prize. The White House accused the Nobel Committee of playing politics. The award went to Machado of Venezuela.

Nobel Peace Prize 2025: The announcement of Nobel Peace Prize 2025 made headlines across the world this time too. But the most discussed name was the one which was not included in it. US President Donald Trump who calls himself a “peacemaker”. When he was left out of this year’s Nobel Prize, a wave of anger ran in the White House. Trump has many times asked for the Nobel Peace Prize for himself.
White House’s counterattack – There is no one like Trump
Steven Cheung wrote in his statement that “President Trump will continue to establish peace around the world, end wars, and save lives. There is no one like him who can move mountains with his will.”
This statement of the White House is clearly being considered a political attack against the Nobel Committee. Especially when the Trump administration has been presenting its “peace agreements” as a major achievement.
Trump’s old attack on Obama repeated
Just hours before the Nobel results were announced, Trump, in his familiar style, targeted Barack Obama. He said, “Obama got the Nobel without doing anything… He was given the award just for being elected, while he destroyed our country.” Trump’s statement revived the old controversy when Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, within a few months of assuming office.
Trump said- I don’t want recognition, I want results
Trump said he “works for results, not identity.” He claimed that under his leadership the US “worked towards peace in Gaza and ended eight wars.” The Trump administration also recently tried to influence the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), which plays an advisory role in the Nobel selection process.
Nobel Committee honored Venezuela’s Machado
This year, the Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been received by Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who was chosen for “the peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy and the protection of civil rights”. He will receive an amount of 11 million Swedish kronor (about 1.2 million US dollars). The ceremony will take place in Oslo on 10 December.
Relationship between US President and Nobel
So far, four American Presidents Theodore Roosevelt (1906), Woodrow Wilson (1919), Jimmy Carter (2002) and Barack Obama (2009) have received the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump wanted to add his name to this list. But at present he has received only the complaint of “political conspiracy”.
