US President Donald Trump on Tuesday awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honour, to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, calling him a “fearless warrior for liberty” during a Rose Garden ceremony.

Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University — an attack that shocked the nation and reignited debates over political violence.

“Today we honor and remember a beloved leader who galvanised the next generation like nobody I’ve ever seen before,” Trump said, praising Kirk’s influence on young conservatives and his role in Trump’s 2024 campaign.
