The Trump administration has taken control of the United States Institute of Peace, renaming it after President Donald Trump and placing his name on its headquarters, despite ongoing legal battles over the institute's independence. The move follows a contentious takeover in which the administration ousted the board and staff, sparking a series of court actions that have seen control of the building shift multiple times. While the administration claims the institute is part of the executive branch, former leadership maintains it was created by Congress as an independent entity. The renamed building is set to host a high-profile peace agreement signing between the leaders of Congo and Rwanda, even as the legal dispute over its control continues. In a separate development, Trump was awarded a peace prize by FIFA for his efforts in brokering a ceasefire in Gaza.
