US President Donald Trump has spoken out in defense of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, warning that removing him would be a "terrible mistake." In a social media post on Monday, Trump addressed the pressure Infantino is facing, as the FIFA chief could be on the verge of losing his position.
Trump and Infantino were recently at the center of controversy together at the FIFA World Cup. The president's comments come amid growing calls for Infantino's ouster, though the exact nature of the pressure was not detailed in the reports.
No further information about the controversy or the potential removal process was provided.
