Trump finally gets his peace prize as FIFA hands him inaugural award at World Cup draw

Published



President Donald Trump has long said he is unbothered by being snubbed for a Nobel Peace Prize. However, that did not stop his friend and FIFA President Gianni Infantino from handing him an award and a medal on Friday, seemingly created just for him.

Trump was the guest of honor at Friday’s draw for next summer’s World Cup at the Kennedy Center in Washington. The United States, alongside Canada and Mexico, will co-host the world’s biggest sporting tournament next summer. It will mark the first time since 1994 that the tournament has been held on U.S. soil.
