Former U.S. President Donald Trump attended the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw in New York on Wednesday. During the event, he received an unexpected honor from a separate organization.
The "Peace Summit Award" was presented to Trump by the "Peace Summit" organization. This group cited his administration's work on Middle East diplomatic agreements.
The event's main purpose was to determine the first-round groups for the 2026 tournament. The United States men's national team learned its initial opponents.
The U.S. will face Paraguay and Australia in the group stage. As a host nation alongside Canada and Mexico, the U.S. automatically qualified for the competition.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first to feature 48 teams. The draw divided these teams into 12 groups of four for the opening round.
