Trump Called FIFA President President Gianni Infantino — Then Balogun's Ban Was Suspended: Report

Reports indicate that Donald Trump spoke with FIFA President Gianni Infantino prior to the suspension of Folarin Balogun's red card. While Trump expressed praise for the decision made by FIFA, he did not claim to have influenced the outcome. The disciplinary panel's ruling is described as independent, despite the timing of the conversation between Trump and Infantino regarding the U.S. player's status within the organization's disciplinary framework during the reported events.
