Trump speaks with Nobel Peace prize winner Machado after his administration denounced the decision to award it to her

US President Donald Trump spoke with newly named Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado after his administration blasted the committee’s decision. The committee awarded the 2025 prize to the Venezuelan opposition leader for promoting democratic rights; Machado thanked Trump and said she dedicated the honor to him and to suffering Venezuelans. Trump called her “very nice,” claimed she told him he deserved the award, and joked about taking it. A White House aide accused the panel of favoring politics over peace. Reactions split, as allies scorned the prize and Trump praised Vladimir Putin’s supportive remarks.
