A congressional gold medal is sought to honor 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,” according to terms of the resolution.

H.R. 5789 was introduced Oct. 17 by Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wisconsin.

A separate bill, H.R. 8386, was introduced May 14, 2024, by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Florida, seeking a gold medal to recognize Trump “for his exceptional leadership and dedication to strengthening America’s diplomatic relations during his presidency” in his first term. Luna’s  legislation never gained traction for further consideration beyond introduction.
