Maria Corina Machado dedicates her Nobel to Trump
Venezuelan pro-democracy opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who won the Nobel Peace Prize 2025, dedicated the award to the US President Donald Trump on Friday while praising him for his “decisive support” for the people of Venezuela. The Norwegian Nobel Committee hailed Machado for her “tireless work promoting democratic rights” and advocating for a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy in Venezuela. “This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve freedom and democracy,” she wrote on X.
