Infantino Reportedly Seeks Trump’s Support as FIFA Leadership Pressure Grows

The proposal was later dropped after opposition from UEFA, CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation. Reports say Infantino is expected to speak with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio as calls for his resignation intensify.
