World football governing body FIFA appear to have sided with Donald Trump after the president threatened to move World Cup games from certain US cities.
Next summer’s World Cup will be held across several states, including Democrat-run cities like New York and Los Angeles.
President Trump has repeatedly threatened to move matches from cities he thinks are ‘not safe’ and said earlier this week that FIFA president Gianni Infantino would ‘easily’ back his proposals.
‘We could take them away,’ Trump said as Boston became the latest city to receive a World Cup threat from the President.
If someone is doing a bad job, and I feel there’s unsafe conditions, I would call Gianni [Infantino], the head of Fifa, who is phenomenal, and say let’s move it to another location.
‘And he would do that. He wouldn’t love to do it, but he’d do it. Very easily, he’d do it.’
