"Of course, we will be with the President, we will enjoy the final, and then we will present the trophy to the winner," Infantino stated. When asked if they would present it together, the FIFA head added: "Of course, we are always together."
After the Club World Cup final, Trump remained on stage even after handing the winning trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James.
