Following the elimination of the US from the FIFA World Cup, President Donald Trump has finally spoken out, refraining from discussing the match outcome.
The US team faced a 4-1 defeat against Belgium in the round of 16 on July 6 in Seattle.
In his post on Truth Social, Trump highlighted the strength of the United States Military, emphasizing record-breaking recruitment and high morale levels.
He underscored the importance of maintaining the military’s power by urging the passing of Reconciliation 3.0 with a substantial budget allocation for defense.
Trump did not address the country’s World Cup loss but rather focused on the “Save America Act” in his statements.
The defeat followed a conversation between Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino regarding a red card issue involving USMNT’s player, Folarin Balogun.
Initially facing suspension, Balogun’s ban for the Belgium match was postponed after intervention from Trump and Andrew Giuliani, leading to FIFA’s announcement of the suspension lift.
Expressing gratitude towards FIFA on Truth Social, Trump thanked the organization for rectifying what he deemed a significant injustice.
