The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado, a leading Venezuelan opposition figure. Machado was set to run for president last year, but she was disqualified by the government of President Nicolás Maduro, with fellow opposition leader Edmundo González standing in for her. Venezuela's National Electoral Council ultimately declared Maduro the winner of the contested election, and he was sworn in for his third term in January.
Machado has voiced support for U.S. sanctions against Venezuela and other efforts to topple the government; she aims to privatize the country's state oil industry and has praised right-wing Latin American leaders, including Argentina's Javier Milei and El Salvador's Nayib Bukele.
Friday's Nobel announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has openly campaigned for the award.
"It's a perplexing choice," says Greg Grandin, a historian of Latin America. "They've given it to somebody who's completely aligned with the most militarist and darkest face of U.S. imperialism."
