Trump intervenes in FIFA red card controversy
FIFA overturned a red card decision against US footballer Folleran Balagan following his challenge in a World Cup match against Bosnia-Herzegovina, allowing him to play against Belgium. President Donald Trump confirmed he personally called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to request a review of the referee's decision. UEFA condemned the intervention as unprecedented and unjustifiable, whilst Belgium expressed strong opposition to the ruling that could affect their World Cup match outcome.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
