In a FOX
Sports interview before the 2026 World Cup final between Argentina and Spain,
Trump highlighted Messi's heroic pass to Lautaro Martínez that beat England,
while staying neutral on picking a side.
Attending
with First Lady Melania and near FIFA's Gianni Infantino, he nodded to his
friend Argentine President Javier Milei, joked about switching lives with the
stars, and pushed for the U.S. to host again amid the soccer boom.
Halftime saw Spain dominate possession at 0-0, with Argentina's Messi stifled early as both teams chase glory in the first U.S. final since 1994.
