A BILL
To award a Congressional Gold Medal to President Donald J. Trump, in recognition of his extraordinary peacemaking efforts throughout the world and in facilitating the Trump peace agreement to end the war in Gaza and bring lasting peace to the Middle East.
This Act may be cited as the Donald J. Trump Congressional Gold Medal Act
.
The Congress finds the following:
In October 2025, President Donald J. Trump negotiated and secured a historic peace agreement between the State of Israel and Hamas.
This agreement brought an end to longstanding hostilities, normalized diplomatic relations, and laid a foundation for regional stability, economic cooperation, and mutual recognition.
President Trump’s diplomatic efforts, perseverance, and vision contributed significantly to an unprecedented breakthrough in Middle East peace efforts.
The October 2025 Peace Agreement has been internationally recognized as a major advancement in global diplomacy and U.S. leadership in conflict resolution.
On August 8, 2025, Armenia and Azerbaijan and President Trump signed a peace agreement at the White House ending a decades-long war.
On June 20, 2025, President Trump announced a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, crediting Secretary of State Marco Rubio for helping to bring them together.
On June 23, 2025, President Trump announced he had negotiated a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
On May 12, 2025, after U.S. led talks, President Trump announced that India and Pakistan had reached a ceasefire after an intensifying military confrontation.
On July 28, 2025, leaders of Cambodia and Thailand agreed to a ceasefire after five deadly days of fighting. President Trump leveraged trade deals with the United States to ensure this ceasefire was negotiated and agreed upon.
On June 15, 2025, President Trump brokered a deal between Egypt and Ethiopia to pause a conflict over the effects of a dam on the Nile River.
The Congress recognizes the importance of honoring such exceptional achievement in foreign policy and peacemaking.
