'Absurd spectacle': Trump finally awarded a peace prize | LBC

United States president Donald Trump was unsurprisingly given the first ever Fifa peace prize at Friday’s World Cup draw ceremony in Washington DC.

Trump and Fifa president Gianni Infantino have formed a close bond and Trump has now been handed a new prize from football’s global governing body which recognises individuals who have made “exceptional contributions to peace and unity”.

The award is a hugely controversial one, with human rights campaigners having urged Fifa earlier this week not to hand the prize to Trump.

Matthew Wright is joined by LBC's James Hanson to discuss the 'farcical' event.
