Trump Denies FIFA Talks
Donald Trump said he hadn’t spoken to FIFA President Gianni Infantino about the proposed sell-off of the body, as he met with his cabinet at Camp David on Friday.
“Did FIFA or Mr. Infantino speak to you about their proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup?” he was asked.
“No,” he replied.
Trump has been close to Infantino before and during the recent World Cup.
