Story summary

The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner will soon be announced, continuing a tradition established by Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel in his 1895 will. Last year's prize was awarded to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado for her efforts against authoritarian rule in Venezuela. Notably, she later presented the award to former U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, following an event where Trump had ordered the attempted abduction of Venezuela’s president Nicolás Maduro. Nobel's will stipulates that prize recipients must have significantly benefited humankind during the preceding year.
