Trump Defends FIFA Review Of Red Card
US President Donald Trump: US President Donald Trump on Monday defended his intervention in a controversial red card issued to a United States player at the FIFA World Cup, saying he merely requested a review because the sending-off was unjustified and insisting the tournament should feature its best players.
Speaking at the White House after launching the "Trump Accounts" investment programme for American children, Trump confirmed he had spoken with FIFA President Gianni Infantino after the incident and believed the governing body ultimately reached the correct decision by allowing the player to remain eligible.
"I asked for a review because I didn't think it was a foul," Trump said. "I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled. That was not a guy punching somebody in the face."
