Trump publicly backs FIFA President Gianni InfantinoAKIPRESS.COM - U.S. President Donald Trump expressed support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino. He praised his performance as head of the organization. "Fifa would be making a terrible mistake if, for any reason, they even considered replacing president Gianni Infantino. He is fantastic, having just presided over the most successful World Cup, by four times, ever presented. If he is gone, it will never be as successful or profitable again," Trump wrote on social media.
