Trump may seem difficult ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, but he will be on the podium to co-present the trophy with Infantino.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has revealed that he will co-present the 2026 World Cup trophy with US President Donald Trump.
Trump has been at the centre of the upcoming FIFA World Cup for various reasons, including temporarily denying fans of 15 participating nations US entry.
However, FIFA has always maintained peace, and Infantino has now invited Trump to the podium to hand over the World Cup trophy to the winners.
