FIFA president Gianni Infantino is turning to the Trump administration to save his job after his plan to sell off part of the World Cup's commercial rights collapsed, the New York Post reported Monday, citing sources. Trump, who had cultivated a warm relationship with Infantino around the 2026 World Cup, distanced himself as the plan unraveled. Asked at Camp David whether the FIFA boss had consulted him on the sale, the president said he had never spoken to him about it. The Post reported that Infantino felt "isolated" by the negative coverage and was hunting for allies as an internal push to force him out gained momentum. FIFA's ties to Trump have come under a congressional microscope, with House Judiciary Democrats demanding records of anything of value the organization gave the president.
