President Donald Trump was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday despite his desperate lobbying campaign for the honor he craves above all others.
Instead, the Norwegian Nobel Committee gave the prize to María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan democracy campaigner and staunch critic of the country’s leader, President Nicolás Maduro.
“She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for our struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,” announced Jørgen Watne Frydnes, the committee’s chairman.
