Donald Trump issues Harry Kane statement after England beat Mexico in World Cup

Donald Trump issued a statement praising England captain Harry Kane after England beat Mexico 3-2 to reach the World Cup quarter-finals. Kane converted a second-half penalty in the 60th minute at Estadio Azteca, scoring his sixth goal of the tournament. The victory followed Jude Bellingham’s two goals in 98 seconds before half-time, with Julian Quinones reducing the deficit and Raul Jimenez scoring from the spot to make it 3-2. England advanced to face Norway despite Jarell Quansah being sent off after 54 minutes. Trump’s White House account posted that “Harry Kane of England is a GREAT player.” The Prince of Wales also congratulated the team. Fans celebrated across Mexico City after a late-night match affected by thunderstorms that delayed kick-off by an hour, with play later restarted after added time.
