US and Canada oppose FIFA chief despite Trump and Mexico support
The crisis surrounding FIFA President Gianni Infantino is escalating after the American and Canadian football unions joined the Caribbean and Central American Football Union in opposing his policies, especially regarding his attempts to privatize the World Cup rights in favor of an investment fund headed by Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner.
