President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House, Friday, Oct. 10, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)Donald Trump will “probably” deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize next year, a Sky News presenter has said.Trevor Phillips said even the US president’s critics admit he should get it for brokering peace in Gaza.Supporters of the US president reacted angrily after the Nobel committee gave this year’s award to Venezuelan democracy campaigner María Corina Machado.Phillips said: “This extraordinarily brave woman has spent the last year in hiding from thugs controlled by her country’s long-time dictator, Nicolas Maduro.“But most of the coverage of Muchado’s award focused not on her courage, but on the fact that the American president did not win the prize he so obviously covets.“That said, even long-time Trump critics are now conceding that he will probably deserve it next year for his role in delivering a ceasefire in Gaza.”Sky's @TrevorPTweets says some British politicians will be 'choking down humble pie' after Donald Trump's Gaza peace deal secured a ceasefire and Hamas agreed to release the remaining Israeli hostages.https://t.co/jnqh0Ns5QE#TrevorPhillips📺 Sky 501 and YouTube pic.twitter.com/o7ZkFXszLJ— Sky News (@SkyNews) October 12, 2025Trump has mounted a less-than-subtle campaign to receive the award.Reacting to the decision on Friday, Trump claimed to have ended “a total of eight” wars since being re-elected president, including the Gaza peace deal between Israel and Hamas.He even said that Machado had told him he “really deserved it” in a phone call after she was named this year’s winner.Responding to the criticism from the White House of the Nobel committee’s decision, its chairman Jorgen Watne Frydnes said: “We hope as many people around the world should support the important work of Machado.“This is work that we believe is deserving and we hope that both political leaders, countries and people would support the mass movement that wants democracy in Venezuela and works for a free and fair transition from a brutal dictatorship to democracy.”Related...Trump Claims Nobel Peace Prize Winner Told Him He 'Really Deserved It'Nobel Peace Prize Chief Hits Back After White House Condemns Decision Not To Give Trump Award'He's Gonna Have A Meltdown': Internet Reacts After Donald Trump Fails To Win Nobel Peace Prize
