Trump, who had sought the Nobel Peace Prize but was left empty handed by the Nobel Committee, was recognized Friday by FIFA, the governing body of international soccer, during the draw for the 2026 World Cup at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was absent from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Norway on Wednesday.
