US President Donald Trump will be permitted to lift the World Cup trophy alongside the winning team at the final in New Jersey on July 19, and present the trophy with the FIFA president, according to a Talksport report relayed by Israeli media. The report is attributed to a single outlet.
A Talksport report relayed by Israeli media outlet N12 states that President Donald Trump will be allowed to lift the World Cup trophy alongside the winning team at the final in New Jersey on July 19, and present the trophy to the victors together with FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The brief report does not cite an on-the-record source or provide further details on the arrangement, such as whether it reflects an official agreement between FIFA and the White House. Trump had previously stated he would attend the World Cup, though a Politico report from earlier this month indicated he would stay home for the opener in Los Angeles. The current report suggests his plans for the final have shifted or been formalized, but as a single-sourced claim it remains unconfirmed by the White House or FIFA.
