Trump revealed he reached out to Fifa president Gianni Infantino to review a red card given to USA striker Folarin Balogun, claiming the dismissal was unjust but denying any pressure was applied to overturn it. This move by the US president has sparked debate over Fifa's disciplinary processes and the influence of a World Cup host nation's leader on such matters.
