The Norwegian Committee that awards the Nobel Peace Prize defended its decision not to give the 2025 award to US President Donald Trump, stating that his recent actions do not yet meet the Nobel criteria.
The head of the Nobel Committee says that the decision is always based on merit, not on any campaign or media pressure.
According to foreign media, the nomination for the award closed on January 31, while Donald Trump became president on January 20.
Who is María Corina Machado? And why was she given the Nobel Peace Prize 2025?
Trump’s openly campaigning for the Nobel Prize may also be a reason for his failure. This decision is considered a symbolic blow to Trump. Experts say the committee does not change its decision based on any last-minute deals.
According to the details, this is being viewed as another significant rejection by the elite during his second presidential term.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee was established by the Norwegian Storting in 1897, tasked with selecting Nobel Peace Prize laureates.
