President Donald Trump has expressed support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who is facing criticism and calls to resign. Trump made his statement on Truth Social, stating that replacing Infantino would be a mistake. The criticism of Infantino stems from a proposed FIFA subsidiary that would have run competitions and events, including the World Cups.

The plan, which is now scrapped, involved selling rights to private investors. Further details on the situation and Trump's statement are available from the source. The proposal had been backed by an investment firm, but it is no longer moving forward.
