From his meetings with Emperor Hirohito, Prime Minister Eisaku Satō, and Kakuei Tanaka, to the historic 1972 return of Okinawa, Nixon advanced a relationship with Japan built on respect and partnership.
But his vision began long before the presidency. As Vice President in 1953, he called for greater Japanese autonomy during a precedent-setting tour of the Far East.
A statesman ahead of his time.

The Richard Nixon Foundation selected President @realDonaldTrump as the Distinguished Recipient of the 2025/2026 Architect of Peace Award.
Members of the Nixon Family and Nixon Foundation Board Chairman Ambassador Robert C. O`Brien presented the Award to President Trump at a ceremony in the Oval Office at The White House on October 21, 2025.
“President Trump’s America First foreign policy is rooted in robust personal diplomacy combined with a peace-through-strength philosophy. The results have been simply incredible in the number of ceasefires and peace deals that he has achieved around the world. As a recipient of the Architect of Peace Award, he will join a pantheon of peacemakers who put into practice the principles that defined President Nixon’s own vision for a more peaceful world,” said Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien, Chairman of the Nixon Foundation Board of Directors.
President Trump’s foreign policy accomplishments include brokering the historic Abraham Accords, establishing economic normalization between Serbia and Kosovo, healing the Gulf Rift, negotiating ceasefires in Thailand and Cambodia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, and Armenia and Azerbaijan, and his current efforts to bring a lasting peace to Russia and Ukraine.
Most recently, President Trump’s diplomacy resulted in the momentous Gaza Peace Deal that included the release of all remaining living Israeli hostages, and the establishment a framework for sustainable peace in the Middle East.
The Architect of Peace Award was established in 1995, shortly after President Nixon’s death, to honor individuals who embody his lifelong goal of shaping a more peaceful world. Its recipients include, among others, former Presidents Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, former National Security Advisors Dr. Henry Kissinger and Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien, as well as royalty, Empress Farah Pahlavi and Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.

The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker.
"It is interesting to speculate how the Founders, with their concern about letting too much power gather in any of the three branches of government, would have reacted to the rise of this fourth power center."

The purpose of the #constitution was not to create a perfect society but to secure the natural rights that man possessed before entering society.
