Maria Corina Machado Dedicates Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has stated that she dedicated her Nobel peace price to United States President Donald Trump , citing what she described as his strong role in confronting authoritarianism in Venezuela.
Machado said the Nobel award represents international recognition of the Venezuelan peopleโs long struggle for democracy and political freedom. She credited Trumpโs firm stance against the government of Nicolรกs Maduro with drawing global attention to Venezuelaโs crisis and applying sustained pressure on the ruling establishment.
According to Machado, international sanctions and diplomatic isolation played a key role in weakening authoritarian control and strengthening the opposition movement. She described her dedication of the prize as symbolic, meant to honor political leadership she believes helped challenge tyranny.
Her statement has sparked debate both inside and outside Venezuela. Supporters argue that foreign pressure was necessary to confront years of political repression, while critics say external involvement worsened economic hardship and social instability.
Donald Trump has previously voiced frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize himself, often claiming his foreign policy actions were ignored by the Nobel Committee.
Venezuela continues to face deep political uncertainty, with power struggles, economic challenges, and international tensions shaping the countryโs future. Machadoโs remarks have added a new dimension to the ongoing global discussion over leadership, legitimacy, and foreign influence in Venezuela.
