US President Donald Trump said he was not attending the draw for the 2026 World Cup to receive a prize, but he got one anyway.
Trump, who has campaigned aggressively this year for a Nobel Peace Prize, was given FIFAs inaugural peace prize for his efforts to promote dialogue and de-escalation in some of the worlds hotspots.
Amid TV cameras and flashbulbs from the international press, Trump dominated the scene at Washingtons Kennedy Center on Friday, placing himself squarely at the center of one of the biggest events in the sporting world.
