US President Donald Trump: US President Donald Trump has thrown his weight behind FIFA president Gianni Infantino, warning that football’s world governing body would make a 'terrible mistake' if it considered replacing the Swiss administrator amid mounting opposition to his leadership.

Trump, in a post on Truth Social, praised Infantino for presiding over what he described as the 'most successful World Cup' and said the tournament would not be as successful or profitable without him.

“FIFA would be making a terrible mistake if, for any reason, they even considered replacing President Gianni Infantino. He is fantastic, having just presided over the most successful World Cup, by four times, ever presented. If he is gone, it will never be as successful or profitable again! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT,” Trump posted.
