Trump Convinced FIFA to Overturn a Red Card—and That's Unprecedented

Donald Trump pushed FIFA to cancel a suspension for US soccer player Folarin Balogun after he received a red card—essentially an ejection. FIFA reversed the decision, the first time in over 60 years. Trump claimed credit while saying FIFA made the final call. The move opens a door: other world leaders may now pressure sports bodies over decisions, blending politics and athletics in ways that didn't happen before.
