New Delhi: US President Donald Trump, who calls himself a messenger of peace, is in the news these days. There was widespread speculation that Donald Trump would receive the Nobel Peace Prize. However, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.
Donald Trump expressed his grief over not receiving the Nobel Prize. He said that the Nobel Peace Prize winner had called him. For a long time, Donald Trump has been claiming to be a mediator in wars and bring peace. He also seems to be subtly claiming to be worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Donald Trump made a significant statement.
Following the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize, US President Donald Trump made a surprising statement. He said that Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado called him and said, “I am accepting this in your honour because you truly deserve it.”
After being denied the Nobel Peace Prize, Donald Trump claimed that he had assisted the award winner, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, on several occasions.
At a White House press conference, Donald Trump said, “The person who received the Nobel Prize called me today and said, ‘I’m accepting it in your honour because you truly deserve it.’ I didn’t say, ‘Give it to me.’ I think she did. I was there in Venezuela during the disaster, and they needed a lot of help.”
What Was Donald Trump Expecting?
For information, Machado has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for promoting the democratic rights of the Venezuelan people and for her struggle for a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
Donald Trump had previously hoped that the Nobel Peace Prize would be awarded to him. He had hoped to receive the award for his efforts to “end seven wars.” He also linked the conflict in Ukraine to his broader peacebuilding claims.
