Politico Europe reports:
World football governing body FIFA has boosted its ties with U.S. President Donald Trump by opening an office in New York’s Trump Tower. The move comes a year ahead of the men’s World Cup — which is being hosted across North America — and a year after FIFA opened an office in Miami.
FIFA boss Gianni Infantino [screenshot above] on Tuesday thanked Trump, whom he described as “a big fan of soccer,” as well as the president’s son, Eric, for their “big support.”
Eric Trump joined Infantino and Brazilian football legend Ronaldo as they announced the trophy for the Club World Cup would be on display at Trump Tower until the competition’s final, at nearby MetLife Stadium, on Sunday. Infantino has visited the White House and the president’s Florida base Mar-a-Lago on multiple occasions this year.
