Trump Claims Eight Peace Deals as Nobel Committee Prepares to Announce Winner

President Donald Trump renewed his campaign for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize on October 7, claiming he settled eight wars and prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The Norwegian Nobel Committee is set to announce the winner on October 9. Trump acknowledged the committee’s historical reluctance to award him but argued his diplomatic efforts saved millions of lives. Critics note that his administration is currently engaged in active military conflicts in Iran and Venezuela, which contradicts the prize’s criteria. The 2025 winner, Maria Corina Machado, previously suggested Trump deserved the honor, though the Nobel Institute clarified that the prize cannot be transferred.

In a Piers Morgan Uncensored interview, Nobel laureate María Corina Machado was asked whether she would still have given Donald Trump her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize after he later joined Israel in a war against Iran; she defended her initial prize gesture as part of Venezuela’s move toward democracy, criticized both the Iranian and Venezuelan regimes, voiced support for Iranians seeking freedom, and highlighted alleged links between those regimes and broader international networks. She had previously presented Trump with the prize, and the piece notes that Trump subsequently participated in actions against Iran.

Machado courts Spain’s right as Venezuela’s opposition splits on social issues

Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado traveled to Madrid to court Spain's conservative PP and Vox, choosing meetings with right-wing leaders over Sánchez's Socialist government; while she shares a liberal economic outlook with PP head Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Machado remains more conservative on social issues such as abortion, underscoring a split between a fragmented Venezuelan opposition and Spain's organized conservative bloc.

Machado Plans Madrid Rally as Venezuela’s Opposition Is Frozen Out After Maduro Capture

Venezuela opposition leader María Corina Machado plans a rally in Madrid to press for democracy after Nicolás Maduro’s capture intensified a split in the country’s leadership. Washington has backed Maduro’s vice president Delcy Rodríguez, enabling her to consolidate power while Machado remains in exile and unable to return. Rodríguez’s position has strengthened amid purges and economic claims of technocratic governance, complicating any democratic transition. Machado has met European leaders but won’t meet Spain’s prime minister during a trip that includes Madrid, highlighting the uncertain path for opposition hopes of elections and a return of exiled figures.

Venezuela could see new elections within a year, Machado says

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado told POLITICO that a credible, manually supervised transfer could yield new democratic elections within about 9–10 months, though she has not discussed timing with Trump. She argues U.S. backing could accelerate a transition, noting prior 2024 presidential and 2025 parliamentary votes were criticized as unfair, and contrasting this with long, contested nation-building efforts in other countries. The remarks came after her meeting with Trump at the White House, where no timeline was discussed.
