United States President Donald Trump reacted to Vladimir Putin's endorsement, praising his peace efforts by saying, "Thank you to President Putin!" This marks Donald Trump's first public comment following the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, even as he kept insisting that he deserved it for "ending seven unendable wars."
Donald Trump, however, has not directly commented on being overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize, announced a day after Israel and Hamas agreed to cease fire, and exchange prisoners and hostages, in a deal mediated by the United States.
As Donald Trump was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, Vladimir Putin praised his peace efforts, and voiced hope for securing an agreement to extend a pivotal nuclear arms pact with Washington for another year.
Trump reacts to Putin's praises: Watch
When asked whether he thinks Trump was unjustly overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize, Vladimir Putin said he wasn't the one to decide but extolled Trump's efforts toward a ceasefire in Gaza and in Ukraine.

He said, "He's really doing a lot to resolve such complex crises that have lasted for years and even decades." While he did not comment on Machado's win, Putin said there have been instances where the prize was awarded to those who did nothing for peace.
"There have been cases where the committee has awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to people who have done nothing for peace. A person comes, good or bad, and (gets it) in a month, in two months, boom. For what? He didn't do anything at all. In my view, these decisions have done enormous damage to the prestige of this prize," he said.
Maria Machado dedicates award to Trump
Maria Corina Machado, who won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, has dedicated her award to the Venezuelan people and Donald Trump, for his "decisive support" for her country's pro-democracy movement.
She said, "I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!"
"We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy," said Machado who has been in hiding in Venezuela for past one year.

Bizarro world in action.
In what universe would Vladimir Putin be given consideration as a commenter on a "peace prize" ? And then Trump says "thank you".
The Nobel committee probably found out Putin was backing Trump and said "fuck it".
