Oct. 21 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump accepted the Architect of Peace Award from the Richard Nixon Foundation during a closed ceremony at the White House on Tuesday morning.
Trump earned the award due to his central role in negotiating the current cease-fire deal between Hamas and Israel to end the unchecked war in Gaza that began when Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, CBS News reported.
Award presenters included former President Richard Nixon's daughter, Tricia Nixon Cox, former national security adviser Robert O'Brien and acting U.S. archivist Jim Byron, CBS News reported.
