A Pro-Democracy Venezuelan Politician Wins This Year’s Nobel Peace Prize. Is It a Rebuke to Trump?

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro insulted Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado amid political tensions as she was honored for promoting democratic rights and peaceful transition.

  • Earlier this year the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded its top prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights and challenging Nicolás Maduro.
  • Living in hiding, Maria Corina Machado has opposed Nicolás Maduro for a year and said Venezuelans `are on the threshold of victory`, appealing to President Donald Trump and democratic nations.
  • Public figures in the U.S. reacted as Roger Stone and others urged Maria Corina Machado to relinquish the prize to President Trump, while Norwegian Nobel Committee Chair Jorgen Frydnes defended the decision based on Alfred Nobel's will and committee integrity.
  • Commentators noted the Nobel Peace Prize has long been a political tool of the left and compared Machado's award to Barack Obama's 2009 prize, questioning its merit.
  • Diplomatically, the choice arrives while Oslo navigates ties with Washington, as the five-member Nobel Committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament draws attention amid tariff talks.
