According to the Richard Nixon Foundation, the award, which was established in 1995, is given to people who embody Nixon’s “lifelong goal of shaping a more peaceful world.”
Trump is the third US president to receive the Architect of Peace Award. The other two being George H.W. Bush in 2000 and George W. Bush in 2024. Other notable winners include Henry Kissinger who was awarded in 1996 and 2022, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and John McCain.
Farah Pahlavi, the wife last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and her son Reza Pahlavi were awarded in 2024.
Trump was awarded the Architect of Peace Award more than two weeks after the US President missed out on winning the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Trump, who claims to have stopped seven wars, had expressed confidence and had even demanded that he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025.
