Donald Trump has weighed in on a major controversy surrounding the U.S. Men's National Team, revealing that he personally called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to request a review of the red card shown to striker Folarin Balogun. Trump called the decision "horrible," arguing Balogun's challenge was simply a collision between two athletes rather than a foul. The president said he was surprised to learn that the red card would suspend Balogun for the Round of 16 clash against Belgium, calling the punishment unfair. Trump's comments have added a political dimension to one of the biggest talking points of the tournament, sparking fresh debate over VAR, refereeing decisions, and FIFA's disciplinary process. #donaldtrump #trump #fifa #worldcup #usmnt #folarinbalogun #gianniinfantino #belgium #soccer #football #var #redcard #usa #sportsnews #worldcup2026 #teamusa #fifaworldcup #ussoccer #footballnews
