White House Communications Director Steven Cheung accused the Nobel Committee of prioritizing "politics over peace" after the Norwegian panel awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, passing over President Donald Trump, whose supporters had mounted an active campaign on his behalf.

"The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace," Cheung said in a social media publication. "President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. 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."
