> she actually dedicated her prize to Trump

Indeed. Juan Guaidó is yesterdays man.

According to the New York Times...

" She has expressed support for the use of force to depose the Maduro regime; one of her advisors told the New York Times that she has coordinated with the Trump administration and that she has a plan for the first hundred hours after his deposition"

Not sure what democratic mandate she has to be in charge post a foreign led military coup - though she is a graduate of the Yale World Fellows programme.

So rather than a big FU it would appear to be more likely to be an attempt to raise her profile to legitimise a US led coup.

Norwegians don't care about legitimizing US coups, and the current US administration is incapable of working with /anyone/ let anyone influencing Norway.

Look at some of the last Nobel prizes in recent times.

2025 Venezuela opposition, 2023 Iranian opposition, 2022 Belarus, Russia opposition ( and +1 for Ukraine ), 2021 Russian opposition ( +philipines ).

If not influenced by the US - it would appear very much aligned.

In the last 5 years, only in 2024 - celebrating a Japanese who campaigns against nuclear weapons - would it appear not to be aligned.

That's certainly ironic and I think the implications are concerning but don't you think Maduro is the one leading a coup? There is solid statistical evidence Gonzalez won the election.

Quite possibly - not fan of Maduro - just responding to the idea that the prize was two fingers up to Trump - when in fact Machado would appear to be very much in the US camp.
