Donald Trump specifically mentioned FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the first meeting of the Peace Council.
Idman.Biz reports that FIFA presented Trump with the organization's Peace Award at the end of last year.
"Almost everyone here is a head of state, and the head of football, Gianni, is with us - that's not too bad. I like your work the most.
I want to thank Gianni and FIFA for all the wonderful things they've done and continue to do. They gave me the first Peace Award.
I think they saw what Norway did to me and said, 'let's give him the Peace Award,'" the US president said.
