Trump is considering nominating FIFA President Gianni Infantino as United Nations Secretary-General

BlockBeats News, July 22nd, according to the New York Post, U.S. President Trump hopes that FIFA President Gianni Infantino will succeed the next United Nations Secretary-General. The 56-year-old Infantino has built a close relationship with Trump this year due to the World Cup. The Swiss-born football executive has spared no effort to win Trump's favor and invited him to participate in the World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Last December, Infantino also awarded Trump the inaugural FIFA "Peace Award."

A source said Trump believes Infantino is "highly respected around the world" and recognizes his "special ability to unite people." During the 2026 World Cup, Trump reportedly called Infantino to intervene in a controversial red card decision involving the U.S. team.
