The White House on Friday slammed the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, accusing it of ignoring President Donald Trump's contributions to global peace, an honour he has been aggressively seeking often on the back of exaggerated or unverified claims, including his assertions of defusing tensions between India and Pakistan.

"The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace," White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung said in a social media post, hours after Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was declared the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
