US President Donald Trump opined that replacing Fifa President Gianni Infantino would be a "terrible mistake" on August 11, despite the embattled leader's controversial attempts to sell off parts of the World Cup to private investors. Infantino faced criticism from three major confederations - Uefa, CONCACAF, and AFC - who accused him of breaking trust through deception.
However, Trump defended Infantino, praising his leadership and the success of the most recent World Cup. Trump's support contrasts with US Soccer's stance, which joined the chorus against Infantino. Infantino's controversial plan to bring private investment into Fifa competitions had already been withdrawn, but his future remains uncertain as he prepares for re-election in March 2027.
