Russian President Vladimir Putin praised President Donald Trump's leadership and problem-solving abilities after the Nobel Committee once again snubbed the U.S. President for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, despite his record-shattering success in bringing peace and stability to conflict zones across the world.

Instead of honoring President Trump, the man who ended eight wars and brokered historic peace deals between long-feuding nations, the Nobel Committee awarded Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado for what they called her "tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela."

Nobel Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes gave a dismissive and condescending response when asked why Trump was overlooked:

"In the long history of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think this committee has seen many types of campaign, media attention.

We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what, for them, leads to peace.
