Trump Labels Infantino's Potential Resignation as 'Terrible Mistake'

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has received strong support. US President Donald Trump stated that if FIFA were to replace President Gianni Infantino for any reason, it would be a 'terrible mistake'. Trump described Infantino as 'a great guy' who 'just presided over the most successful World Cup by far, four times more successful'. Trump's statement came in response to the growing demands from football organizations worldwide for Infantino's resignation. UEFA, Concacaf, and AFC published a joint letter calling for Infantino's resignation.

The letter argued that Infantino's behavior was 'not that of a steward of the game, but of someone who believes the game itself should be accountable to him'.
