Trump Offers FIFA President Infantino the Post of UN Secretary-General
US President Donald Trump has reportedly proposed FIFA President Gianni Infantino as the next UN Secretary-General, as António Guterres is set to step down at the end of the year. The suggestion, described by Trump's Special Envoy Paolo Zampolli as a 'genius idea,' comes after Infantino organized the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Trump reportedly believes Infantino is 'respected all over the world' and has a 'special ability to bring people together.' However, the article questions whether Infantino, who earns €5.16 million as FIFA president, would accept the UN role's €366,000 salary, possibly demanding perks like hydration breaks. It also speculates that the move could pave the way for a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump, given Infantino's chairmanship of the Nobel Committee. The report highlights Trump's disdain for the UN but his willingness to install a loyalist.
