It's the "MAGA-FIFA World Cup", Infantino has said he supports Trump's agenda, and Trump may be awarded a new FIFA Peace Prize.
Why all this fawning?
Well one plausible explanation is that Trump knows the World Cup is a complete swindle.

As Jared Kushner prepares to meet with Putin today on behalf of Trump, REMEMBER: After taking billions from the Saudis and other foreign governments, Kushner explicitly said he would not have a foreign policy role in this administration.

The timing of this is quite interesting given his questionable actions over the weekend towards Noni.
Pretty clear this is nothing but a PR stunt to distract from his petulant and unsportsmanlike behaviors that we see week after week.
Not a like-able character.

Enzo Fernandez said he received “unwavering support” from the Chelsea squad during the fallout from the video of him and his Argentina team-mates singing a racist chant about the France national side in July 2024.
