President Donald Trump says he encouraged FIFA to review a red card decision made during the World Cup against the United States’ forward Folarin Balogun. Speaking in Washington, Trump describes the referee’s red card call as “horrible,” while also stressing that he did not request a specific result from FIFA. According to multiple reports, Trump frames his involvement as limited to asking for a review rather than advocating for overturning or upholding the card. The accounts, based on coverage from The Associated Press and replicated by other outlets, describe Trump taking credit for prompting FIFA to examine the decision. The reporting also indicates that Trump responds to questions about whether he sought a particular outcome, saying he left the determination to FIFA. The cited coverage does not add details on when the review occurs, the status of FIFA’s process, or the reasoning behind the original red card decision beyond Trump’s characterization of it as unacceptable.
