US President Donald Trump says he contacted FIFA president Gianni Infantino regarding a red card shown to a United States player and discussed seeking a review of the decision. According to reports, Trump told Infantino that it would be a “big stain” on the World Cup if the United States lost one of its best players for the round of 16. The reports also say Trump initially did not know what a red card meant. All three outlets present the same account of Trump’s comments, including that he used the World Cup and the impact on the US team as part of his message to FIFA’s top official. The coverage focuses on Trump’s admission of lobbying and the circumstances surrounding the red card that could affect player availability for a key knockout match. The articles do not provide additional detail on FIFA’s ruling process or the final outcome of any request for review.
