Donald Trump backs Gianni Infantino as pressure mounts on FIFA president to resign
Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported7m ago
US President Donald Trump has publicly backed under-fire FIFA President Gianni Infantino, stating that removing him from his position would be a "terrible mistake." The endorsement comes as pressure mounts on Infantino to resign from his role leading international football's governing body.
Infantino, who is described as a years-long member of Trump's orbit, is currently facing intense scrutiny and calls for his ouster. The pressure stems from a failed and controversial plan he pursued to sell financial stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
