Trump admits pushing FIFA to let birthright citizen Balogun play vs. Belgium

President Donald Trump admitted he pressured FIFA to allow USMNT striker Folarin Balogun, a birthright US citizen, to play in Monday's World Cup match against Belgium despite a suspension. Trump's intervention was aimed at overturning or bypassing the ban for the high-stakes game. Balogun, born in the United States, holds citizenship by birthright.
