White House pours scorn on Nobel Peace Prize selection

The Oslo committee has chosen “politics over peace” by overlooking President Trump, communications director Steven Cheung has said.

White House communications director Steven Cheung has accused the Norwegian Nobel Committee of showing political bias for failing to award this year’s Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump.

In a statement posted on X on Friday, Cheung said committee members “proved they place politics over peace.”

“President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives,” the official declared. “He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”

This year’s prize went to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, whom the committee commended for her “tireless advocacy of democratic freedoms in Venezuela” and efforts toward “a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” Machado, a former lawmaker with strong ties in Washington, has been accused by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro of channeling US funds to “fascist” anti-government groups.

Trump has repeatedly argued that his role in mediating international conflicts, including most recently in Gaza, merits recognition from the Nobel Committee. Several foreign leaders, among them Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, and Pakistani Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, have expressed support for him receiving the honour.

The White House has not yet issued an official statement beyond Cheung’s remarks.

  1. Slam dunk
    Looks like Trump just had all the wind taken out of His sails
    Absolutely hypocrisy and preposterous to start with that it could even be contemplated
    With China in a brilliant strategic move in cutting off US access to rear earth elements
    Deemed intrinsic essential lubrication for the US Military war machine
    Trump seems to have been headed off at the pass
    The beast has been cornered
    And is safe to be left with the harem

  2. Nobel peace prize means nothing, they gave oh’bummer one for somthing he will do. Still has done nothing proving how pointless it is.

  3. No need now for that fake ceasefire in Gaza

    There’s instead more $$ to be made if they start fighting again.

    Trump can referee the war.

  4. “President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives,” the official declared. “He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”

    The US backing the Israeli’s who are openly committing genocide in Gaza, the unprovoked attack on Iran and now attacking Venezuelans and for that matter Colombian fishermen, killing them without due process is nauseating stuff. Then there’s the continued support for the Ukraine war against Russia. Suffice to say, I can’t think of a single politician in the mainstream US, who should be considered.

    That said, the Nobel prize has become something of a politicised joke, being awarded to people many times, who simply don’t deserve it.

    Its all just a game.
