The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded on Friday to Venezuelan political opposition leader Maria Corina Machado "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."
Norwegian Nobel Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes, in announcing the award, called Machado "a brave and committed champion of peace."
The announcement comes as President Trump had expressed multiple times his desire to receive the prize, citing his involvement in halting foreign conflicts. https://cbsn.ws/3IOrbxj
