On stage, the president wore a medal around his neck and stood next to a golden trophy depicting hands holding the world, with his name engraved on it.
Gianni Infantino, standing on the other side of the trophy, praised Trump for his efforts in trying to resolve global conflicts.
He assured the American president: "You can always count on my support," and added that Trump had worked towards achieving peace.
