Fifa awards Trump its first ever 'peace prize'

FIFA awarded its first-ever 'peace prize' to US President Donald Trump at the 2026 World Cup draw event in Washington, D.C. FIFA President Gianni Infantino praised Trump for his actions in "ending eight wars" and helping to make the world prosper. While accepting the award, Trump stated it was a great honor and that his administration had saved millions of lives. The decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it violates FIFA's code of political neutrality, and protests were held near the venue against Trump's policies.
