Trump will present the World Cup trophy. It could be VERY awkward
President Donald Trump is set to present the World Cup trophy, which could lead to awkward moments given his history of conflicts with various countries participating in the tournament. Trump has made verbal attacks on several nations and imposed tariffs on their economies, which may create tension during the trophy presentation. The US team's chances of winning are considered a longshot, but if they do, it will be thanks to a team with multiple immigrant players, including top scorer Folarin Balogun, who is able to represent the US due to birthright citizenship.
