The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has captured global attention even before the official announcement, sparking debates and headlines worldwide. Venezuela’s Maria Corina Machado has been named the laureate for her steadfast commitment to democracy and promoting a peaceful political transition. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump asserts he deserved the Nobel for “ending seven wars” and hints at a potential eighth peace deal if Israel and Hamas agree to his Gaza ceasefire plan. Following the announcement, the White House responded to Trump’s claims, emphasizing that “politics over peace” influenced the decision, while affirming that President Trump will continue his efforts to broker peace deals, end conflicts and save lives.
