TOUS 4554 Mondial 2026 Donald Trump reconnait etre intervenu apres un carton rouge

Donald Trump admitted to asking FIFA President Gianni Infantino to review the red card given to American striker Folarin Balogun during the World Cup. To justify his action, the US president stated that he would have reacted the same way if stars like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Harry Kane had been sent off in similar circumstances. While the player's suspension was ultimately lifted, this intervention sparked strong criticism, with several observers denouncing political interference in sporting decisions.
