WASHINGTON (AP) --- The White House made a call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino
to review Folarin Balogun's red card, according to a person familiar with the
call who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to
speak publicly about the matter.
The person did not have details to share about who specifically made the call
and when.
Trump celebrated the red card reversal shortly after it was announced, posting
on his social media network "Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and
reversing a great injustice!"
