Trump comments on Infantino's plans for World Cup private investment stakes

U.S. President Donald Trump asserted he was not consulted by FIFA President Gianni Infantino regarding plans to introduce private investment partners into the World Cup. Infantino announced the proposal for the FIFA Forward Enterprise on July 28, which has faced backlash from soccer federations worldwide, including threats of a boycott from UEFA. Trump's connection to the proposal is highlighted by its financial backing from Thrive Eternal, a capital holding company linked to Jared Kushner's brother. Following this backlash, Infantino's future as FIFA President is uncertain, compounded by the resignation of one of his aides shortly after the announcement.
