Trump Wants FIFA President Infantino as Next UN Secretary-General
An exclusive New York Post report reveals that President Trump wants FIFA President Gianni Infantino to become the next UN Secretary-General, succeeding Antonio Guterres. Infantino, 56, grew close to Trump during the World Cup, inviting him to the tournament and awarding him FIFA's Peace Award. Trump believes Infantino is respected globally and can unite people. The selection requires UN Security Council approval, including veto-wielding permanent members. Trump sees a gap among current candidates, including Michelle Bachelet and Rafael Grossi, and his push would break the expected Latin American rotation. Trump's special representative Paolo Zampolli endorsed the idea, citing Infantino's management of FIFA's 200+ members as similar to the UN's 193 states. Trump has long been frustrated with UN inaction and recently established a US-led UN Peace Council.
