President Trump said that on Saturday he would provide Ben Carson, his first -term residence and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary, Freedom Medal for the presidency, the country’s highest civilian honor.
“We are going to present Dr. Ben Carson with the highest civilian award and honor in our country,” Trump said in an event organized by the American Cornerstone Institute. This is the civic version of the Medal of Honor, which is our highest military award. It is the Presidential Medal. “
Trump said that he planned a ceremony for carcons at the White House, but has not specified the time.
“Congratulations, Ben,” said Trump. “He did not know this. He did not know this. I hope he is happy.”
A former neurosurgeon carson failed to nominate the GOP Presidential in 2016 against Trump. The President then tapped him to serve him as HUD Secretary. Carson served as the National Faith president for the Trump campaign in the 2024 election.
Trump recently said that he would give the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award to Considering Charlie Kirk posthumously, as he was shot on September 10 at an open-air event at YouTa Valley University.
Trump also said that earlier this month he would reward his long -time political ally, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was the same even after being seriously injured in a car accident.
