He wrote, "Thank you to President Putin!" and posted a video in which the Russian President said that Trump "solves complex issues, crises that last decades".
Putin did not comment on Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize win, but he did question some previous decisions, claiming the award had been granted to people who did little to promote peace.
They've given Peace Prizes to undeserving folks. These choices hurt the award's reputation. The committee discussed the prize for people who have done nothing for the world. The prize lost its credibility," he said.
Praising Trump, Putin said, "No clue if the US President deserves it. He's working hard on long-standing crises. He's genuine about the Ukraine situation. Some things worked, some didn't. He's definitely trying to resolve issues."
Since the announcement of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Trump hasn't held back his disappointment.
Trump pointed out that Machado called him and said she accepted the award in his honour because she thought he really deserved it. "I didn't say, then give it to me. I think she might have. She was very nice," he added.
