Washington, D.C., October 10, 2025: The White House sharply criticized the Nobel Committee on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump was overlooked for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, alleging that the decision was politically motivated rather than based on merit.
“Once again, the Nobel Committee has shown that it values politics over peace,” said White House Communications Director Steven Cheung in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Their decision reflects bias rather than a genuine commitment to global peace. President Trump will continue to broker peace deals across the world, ending wars and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian — and there will never be another like him, capable of moving mountains through sheer willpower,” Cheung added.
Trump Targets Obama Over Nobel Win
Just hours before the Nobel announcement, President Trump renewed his criticism of former U.S. President Barack Obama, accusing him of having “done nothing” to earn his 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
“He got it for doing nothing. Obama was given a prize just for being elected — and then went on to destroy our country,” Trump remarked during an interaction with reporters at the White House.
Obama was awarded the Peace Prize less than eight months after taking office, with the Norwegian Nobel Committee citing “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
Trump’s Case for the Nobel Peace Prize
President Trump, who returned to the Oval Office in January 2025, has repeatedly highlighted his administration’s achievements in brokering peace in Gaza and ending eight ongoing conflicts worldwide. He maintains that his pursuit of peace is “driven by results, not recognition.”
Reports also suggest that Trump’s administration has sought to strengthen ties with the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), an organization that plays an advisory role in the Nobel selection process.
2025 Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Venezuela’s María Corina Machado
The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado for her “tireless work in promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
Machado will receive the prize, valued at 11 million Swedish kronor ($1.2 million), during the official ceremony in Oslo on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death.
Her recognition comes at a time when global democracy faces mounting challenges and many nations are sliding toward authoritarianism.
U.S. Presidents Who Have Won the Nobel Peace Prize
To date, four U.S. presidents have received the Nobel Peace Prize:
- Theodore Roosevelt (1906): For mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War.
- Woodrow Wilson (1919): For founding the League of Nations.
- Jimmy Carter (2002): For decades of humanitarian and peace-building work.
- Barack Obama (2009): For his diplomatic outreach and vision of a world without nuclear weapons.
Despite the latest controversy, political analysts suggest that Trump remains a strong contender for future Nobel recognition, particularly if his Gaza Peace Plan continues to deliver measurable outcomes.
