Trump proposes FIFA president nomination
American media reports reveal that U.S. President Donald Trump is considering nominating Gianni Infantino, the President of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA), for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations after Antonio Guterres's term ends at the end of this year. Trump highlights Infantino’s qualities in uniting and bringing people together, believing that he possesses a notable international presence and widespread respect—especially following their rapprochement during the 2026 World Cup hosted jointly by the USA, Canada, and Mexico. However, Infantino’s nomination faces procedural hurdles requiring approval from the United Nations Security Council members, including the permanent members with veto power, before being ratified by the General Assembly. The election is scheduled for next December.
