President Trump reportedly called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the red card given to Team USA’s Folarin Balogun during Wednesday night’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, two outlets have reported on Sunday. Trump later cheered the reversal, calling it an “injustice.”
FIFA said its independent panel overturned the red card suspension for Monday’s game.
The president on July Fourth marked the nation’s 250th birthday with a late Saturday night speech that blended the championing of American achievements with partisan rhetoric. His address lasted about 30 minutes — not as long as he promised days before extreme heat and weather impacted the celebrations in Washington.
