US Probes FIFA President's Ties to Trump
The American investigation is examining the relationship between the President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, and the former U.S. President Donald Trump. Democratic Congressman Jimmy Raskin is demanding the disclosure of documents and correspondence linking FIFA with Trump and his administration officials, including gifts, privileges, and visits to FIFA offices at Trump Tower in New York. The investigation also focuses on how these relationships may have influenced FIFA's decisions during the 2026 World Cup, such as Trump’s intervention in suspending a US team player's suspension and his appearance alongside Infantino during the World Cup celebrations, despite negative reactions from the public. These developments come amid calls to open investigations into whether FIFA has exploited its political ties to gain commercial advantages, particularly regarding ticket sales and rising prices, along with criticisms directed at Infantino's presidency and the potential influence of his relationship with the Trump administration on the federation’s decision-making independence.
