World Cup 2026: Donald Trump Receives Peace Prize

In an unexpected announcement, Donald Trump was presented with a Peace Award by FIFA during the 2026 World Cup draw held in Washington. The accolade, newly introduced by FIFA, is designed to honor "individuals who unite people and inspire hope for future generations."

The award was given to Trump at a major international event, as the United States prepares to co-host the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada. This recognition marks a symbolic moment for the president, who has frequently been mentioned in discussions about peace awards but had never been selected for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The FIFA Peace Award highlights Trumps alleged role in preventing conflicts between India and Pakistan, among other diplomatic efforts, making him the first recipient of this distinction.
