winnerThe 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work in promoting the democratic rights of the Venezuelan people and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy, the president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Jörgen Wattenfriedens, announced during a ceremony in Oslo on October 10. 
There were 338 nominees for this year's Nobel Prize. The Peace Prize nominees included 244 individuals and 94 organizations. The nomination process for the Nobel Prize was completed on January 31. US President Donald Trump considered himself the most deserving of it but unfortunately his name was not included among the 338 nominees.One reason for this is that nominations closed on January 31, while Donald Trump became president on January 20. Trump's open campaign for the Nobel Prize could also be a reason for the failure. This decision is a symbolic blow to Trump. Experts say that the committee does not change its decision at the last minute based on a new agreement. 
The Nobel Committee says that Trump's recent actions do not yet meet the Nobel criteria. The Nobel Committee head says that the decision is always based on merit, not under any campaign or media pressure. In 2009, Donald Trump also expressed his desire to receive the Nobel Prize, but even then his name could not be included in the nominations. 
The winner of the prize, Maria Corina, seems inspired by President Trump's efforts. In a statement after receiving the prize, she said, "I dedicate the Nobel Prize to the oppressed people of Venezuela and to President Trump because President Trump played a decisive role in our freedom movement." 
Whatever the stance of the Nobel Prize committee, the role that US President Donald Trump has played for world peace in the past few months of this year is unparalleled in the world. He has stopped the world's horrific wars with his strategy for example, Pakistan and India are two nuclear powers that could cause a huge disaster in the event of a war. Donald Trump stopped this war at an early stage. Israel played its role in ending the Iran war. Russia and Ukraine are leading the war towards an end.The peace agreement between Hamas and Israel is a golden chapter in the world's peaceful history. At least 46,707 people have been killed in Gaza in the past 15 months, including nearly 18,000 children. The death toll means that one in every 50 people in Gaza has been killed.Many analysts and rights groups believe the true death toll is much higher. This was a war that was now spilling over from Israel and Palestine into other countries in the region, which could have led to a much larger conflict.I believe that history has never seen a greater effort for world peace. If the Nobel Prize committee truly cared about world peace efforts, it should have given this year's Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump, setting aside all its decisions. Since 2009, there has been an atmosphere of discord between Donald Trump and the system, which Trump has called an unfair and elitist system, which has led to further disapproval in his second term as president. 
The White House has also expressed its displeasure over the Nobel Prize decision. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), saying that President Trump has been making peace treaties around the world, ending wars and saving countless lives.He added that the Nobel Committee has once again proven that they prioritize political agendas over peace. That is why the humanitarian leader Trump, who can move mountains with his willpower, was not awarded the Nobel Prize. According to experts, if his peace agreements prove to be sustainable, the 2026 Nobel Prize could be a new opportunity for him.
