House Speaker Mike Johnson presented President Donald Trump with a newly created “America First” award, including a golden eagle statue, during the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser. This happened while the US is dealing with an ongoing war in Iran, increasing pressure on Cuba, widespread immigration enforcement, and a partial government shutdown.
According to The Guardian, Johnson said the award was a “small way” to honor President Trump for his leadership and what he has done for the American people. He called the golden eagle “appropriate for the new golden era in America” and announced that the award would be given every year.
