"With the international soccer competition set to be hosted in the U.S. next year, FIFA's President Gianni Infantino was in Washington D.C. for the 2026 World Cup draw when he gave Trump the medal onstage at the Kennedy Center. Trump, beaming, declared it one of the great honors of my life and repeated that the U.S. was the hottest country anywhere in the world."
"Online, however, his apparent delight was met with unrelenting mockery: In one of the most pathetic and humiliating moments in history, Trump just received the new inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. They literally invented a peace prize to keep him happy after he didn't receive the actual Nobel Peace Prize.

President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize at the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, D.C., accepting a medal from FIFA President Gianni Infantino onstage at the Kennedy Center. Trump described the award as one of the great honors of his life and said the U.S. was the hottest country in the world.

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize went to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who dedicated that award to the president.
