Nobel Peace Prize 2025: Major Upset
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has clinched the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her relentless work in promoting democracy. This result came as a surprise to many, especially since former US President Donald Trump had significant backing and was a strong contender.
Why Trump’s Defeat Stings Pakistan
The shock of Trump’s defeat isn’t limited to the United States. Pakistan, particularly its leadership under Shehbaz Sharif and military chief Asim Munir, will feel the impact. Trump’s victory would have likely shifted global power dynamics, potentially benefiting Pakistan on the international stage. Now, with Machado’s win, Pakistan loses a potential ally who could have influenced US policy in their favor.
The Nobel Committee’s choice sends a clear message about global priorities—democracy and human rights remain at the forefront. For Pakistan, this means rethinking its diplomatic strategies, as hopes pinned on a Trump resurgence have faded.
