Trump Receives Nixon Foundation's Architect of Peace Award at White House

The White House is touting the honor as recognition of his peacemaking record.

Overview

  • Members of the Nixon family, including Tricia Nixon Cox, joined presenters Robert O'Brien and Jim Byron to confer the award during a closed ceremony.
  • White House aide Margo Martin posted photos of the event on X after traditional press access was not permitted.
  • The Nixon Foundation says the award, created in 1995 to honor efforts to shape a more peaceful world, makes Trump the third U.S. president to receive it after George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.
  • Coverage links the recognition to Trump's role in brokering an IsraelHamas ceasefire and to his public push for a Nobel Peace Prize.
  • Following the Nobel to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, the White House criticized the committee's choice, and Trump said she told him she accepted the prize in his honor.
