Trump will do 'everything possible' to save Infantino

A U.S. President close to the FIFA leadership said he would do “everything possible” to support Gianni Infantino, calling him a “loyal person” and praising what the source said Infantino delivered for the World Cup for the United States. The comments come amid reporting that Infantino has tried unsuccessfully to contact Trump after a proposed dramatic sell-off of World Cup assets collapsed. Trump said on Friday he had not spoken with Infantino about the issue. FIFA officials cited Infantino’s record of opening the game to more nations and communities, with debate shifting to how football’s wealth reaches all 211 nations.
