Trump to Present World Cup Trophy at Final in New Jersey
On July 19, 2023, Donald Trump will attend the World Cup final in New Jersey to present the trophy to the winner, as confirmed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Infantino announced this during an interview on Fox Friends, highlighting the close relationship he has cultivated with Trump.
The decision for Trump to jointly present the trophy comes after a controversial incident during the Club World Cup, where Trump presented the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James. During that event, James failed to leave the stage, which led to a bemused reaction from other players.
Infantino's announcement follows the establishment of the FIFA Peace Prize, which was awarded during the World Cup draw in Washington last year.
