The Public Information Director criticized Trump on social media:"Trump will continue to end war and save lives."

(Washington = Yonhap News) Correspondent Cho Jun-hyung = When US President Donald Trump was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the White House criticized him, saying,"It has proven that the Nobel Committee prioritizes politics over peace."

White House Communications Director Stephen Chung said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on the 10th (local time),"He (President Trump) has a humanitarian heart, and there will never be another person like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will."

Meanwhile, Public Relations Director Chung emphasized,"President Trump will continue to make peace agreements, end wars, and save lives."

The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which selects the Nobel Peace Prize winner, announced Venezuelan opposition figure Maria Corina Machado (58) as the winner today.

President Trump and his supporters both inside and outside the United States have argued that he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize since the start of his second term (January 20th), citing his achievements in mediating various international disputes. However, the award ultimately fell through.
