- During the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium, Trump was booed by fans, with crowd noise increasing to levels comparable to a passing diesel truck, highlighting the unwelcoming atmosphere he faced.
- Spain’s official national team and FIFA accounts posted images and videos of the trophy lift that cropped Trump out, reflecting an effort to minimize his visibility in the victory footage.
- Trump is reportedly advocating for FIFA president Gianni Infantino to become the next United Nations secretary-general, praising Infantino’s global respect and ability to unite people.
- Infantino previously awarded Trump the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize after Trump’s unsuccessful bid for the Nobel Peace Prize, with White House officials strongly endorsing Trump’s receipt of the award.
