  • U.S. President Donald Trump will present the World Cup trophy alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
  • Trump's aide revealed that the president is rooting for England to win the tournament, especially on American soil.
  • England has not won the World Cup in 60 years, and Trump believes Harry Kane would be the key player if they succeed.

The World Cup has entered its final week, with semifinals scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday to determine who will compete for the championship title on Sunday in New Jersey. Among the prominent figures at the tournament is U.S. President Donald Trump, who is slated to present the trophy to the winners alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Following the U.S. team's elimination, questions arose about Trump's preferred team among the remaining contenders. Andrew Giuliani, a Trump aide for World Cup-related matters, provided the answer. He stated that the American president is supporting England and would like to see them lift the trophy after a 60-year drought, particularly on American soil during the nation's 250th anniversary celebration.

If the U.S. can't win the title during its 250th anniversary, it would be a great story if England won the title in America during our celebration. England has been waiting 60 years for this, so it would be a wonderful victory for them.

"If the U.S. can't win the title during its 250th anniversary, it would be a great story if England won the title in America during our celebration. England has been waiting 60 years for this, so it would be a wonderful victory for them," Giuliani remarked. He expressed confidence in England's quality, calling them one of the best remaining teams and identifying Harry Kane as the primary reason for their potential success if they win the tournament. Giuliani emphasized that he was speaking on behalf of Trump and the White House.

Absolutely I think England can go all the way, they are one of the best teams that are left in the tournament. Harry Kane is the best striker for England and if they win the tournament, he will be the main reason why.
