 "Maria Corina Machado wins 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, dashing Trump's hopes")
The Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 to Maria Corina Machado, dashing US President Donald Trump's hopes, who claimed ending "seven wars."
Machado received the Nobel Peace Prize 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.
As the leader of the democracy movement in Venezuela, Machado is one of the most extraordinary examples of civilian courage in Latin America in recent times, the committee said.
