The head of the Norwegian Nobel Institute said Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado will not attend the awards ceremony in Oslo on Wednesday.Institute director Kristian Berg Harpviken told public broadcaster NRK the Venezuelan opposition leader was not in the Norwegian capital on the day of the ceremony and her daughter will accept the prize on Machado’s behalf.The institute did not immediately respond to emails or calls from The Associated Press seeking comment.A day earlier, a news conference that Machado was expected to attend was canceled. She last appeared in public 11 months ago.Machado went into hiding and has not been seen in public since Jan. 9, when she was briefly detained after joining supporters in a protest in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital. VenezuelaOct 10Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace PrizeVenezuelaAug 2, 2024Masked assailants ransack Venezuela opposition's headquarters as post-election tensions mountThe 58-year-old’s win for her struggle to achieve a democratic transition in her South American nation was announced on Oct. 10, and she was described as a woman “who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”Machado won an opposition primary election and intended to challenge President Nicolás Maduro in last year’s presidential election, but the government barred her from running for office. Retired diplomat Edmundo González took her place. The lead-up to the July 28, 2024 election saw widespread repression, including disqualifications, arrests and human rights violations. That increased after the country’s National Electoral Council, which is stacked with Maduro loyalists, declared the incumbent the winner.González sought asylum in Spain last year after a Venezuelan court issued a warrant for his arrest. U.N. human rights officials and many independent rights groups have expressed concerns about the situation in Venezuela, and called for Maduro to be held accountable for the crackdown on dissent that he intensified.

SIMI VALLEY, CA -- The Navy is putting the final touches on plans for a sweeping new shipbuilding initiative known as the "Golden Fleet," Navy Secretary John Phelan said today, confirming that President Trump has formally approved the effort as a centerpiece of the service's forthcoming fiscal year 2027 budget request.On Dec. 3, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought and the Navy secretary met with the president to finalize the concept, Phelan said at the Reagan National Defense Forum here.“He has signed off on what we're calling the Golden Fleet,” Phelan said. “It’s very exciting.”The initiative marks the most significant restructuring of the Navy’s shipbuilding portfolio in years and reflects Trump’s push for a modernized fleet tailored to competition with China.Background details on the administration’s interest in replacing the Navy’s current mix of ships with a new fleet -- along with the president’s involvement in shaping that vision -- were previously reported by the Wall Street Journal in October.While the Navy will continue building the “cornerstones of the fleet” -- carriers, destroyers, amphibious ships and submarines -- Phelan said the Golden Fleet will introduce new classes of vessels and accelerate investment in emerging systems.In a social media post on X, after his public remarks, he touted “a new frigate, based on an American design” that he promised will be built faster than the recently cancelled Constellation-class program.The Navy is also preparing a substantial expansion of unmanned systems, backed by “a significant amount of capital in the budget” for FY-27.Phelan also acknowledged the president’s push for a new, large warship -- described in earlier reporting by the Journal as part of a suite of more powerful, long-range vessels.“The president has talked about what I'm going to call a ‘big, beautiful ship,’” Phelan said. “And what I’ll say on that is: stay tuned.”During a follow-up exchange with Inside Defense, the Navy secretary added that in addition to the frigate and the "big, beautiful ship," the Golden Fleet will reflect “a very big investment in logistics and sealift ships” as well as unmanned vessels.Asked how the effort fits into the Navy’s long-range shipbuilding plan, Phelan argued that hull counts are an increasingly outdated metric.“Everyone [is] focused on the number of ships in the fleet. I don’t think it’s a very useful metric, because a carrier counts the same as an oiler or a tug,” he said.
