US President Donald Trump has accepted the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize at the World Cup draw in Washington D.C., sparking widespread criticism over his questionable claims of ending numerous conflicts.
According to Trump, the award is a major honor and represents recognition for his efforts to promote peace around the world. He claimed that "the world is a safer place now" due to his actions, citing examples such as the Congo crisis, where he alleged that millions of lives were saved. However, many experts have questioned these claims, pointing out the continued instability in regions Trump has supposedly helped resolve.
Trump's own history of military interventions and confrontations with other nations contradicts his image as a peacemaker. Notably, ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere continue to plague the world under his watch. Moreover, some claim that there is "no peace" in the US when it comes to internal conflicts.
Critics argue that the decision by FIFA to award Trump the inaugural Peace Prize is a result of their close alignment with his administration's values and policy initiatives, which are often deemed at odds with genuine peace promotion efforts.
While FIFA president Gianni Infantino defended the decision, describing Trump as someone who "helps unite people in peace", many question whether this honor truly reflects the real-world impact of Trump's actions on global stability.
Trump has repeatedly pushed to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, despite making numerous dubious claims about his own peacemaking record. As he continues to shape international policies that often raise questions and criticisms, it will be interesting to see how FIFA maintains its integrity in the face of such scrutiny.

, I mean, what's more awesome than a politician who claims they've ended conflicts? Sounds like total BS to me 
, but maybe they're just trying to help with things? Like, have you seen the state of Gaza lately? It's super messed up 
. On the other hand, Trump did kinda help stabilize some countries in Africa... I think? 
Anyway, I guess it's cool that FIFA is giving this prize out, even if it does seem a bit random to me 
.
, like, Trump has been at war with so many countries... and within the US too? It's wild. So maybe they should've gone for someone else instead? Idk, what do you guys think? 
Trump gets a peace prize from FIFA?! like come on guys, have you seen his track record? all these conflicts around the world still raging on and he's trying to pass himself off as some kinda peacemaker 
like, does he not remember those troops he sent to Yemen or Syria? didn't that lead to even more problems? 
i mean, we've seen those pro-Trump folks in congress get all worked up over the whole Nobel Peace Prize debacle... now they want Trump to receive a major international award? it's just not adding up 
. I just can't fathom how he can say that the world is safer now, when we still have so many wars and struggles going on everywhere 
FIFA needs to explain their decision and maybe they should've looked at Trump's actual track record before giving it to him 
. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who feel the same way as me, and we just want some real peace and stability in this world

. Newsflash, Donald: being a peacemaker doesn't come with a trophy or an award
