Trump "patted" the World Cup trophy in the VIP box during the match

The World Cup trophy was shown to U.S. President Donald Trump while he watched the game in the VIP box. The video shows Trump smiling and patting the golden trophy as it was held in front of him, reports UNN citing AP.

The media notes that this is not the first time he has seen this trophy. FIFA President Gianni Infantino brought it to the Oval Office during a visit to the White House last year. U.S. President Donald Trump was asked in an interview with Fox News to predict the winner of the match between Spain and Argentina. He avoided answering, but appears to be captivated by Argentine national team star Lionel Messi.
