President Trump praised FIFA after world soccer's governing body struck down an automatic one-match ban on U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, allowing the American star to play in Monday night's World Cup match against Belgium.
FIFA "[reversed] a great injustice!" the president wrote on Truth Social after the decision. The Royal Belgian Football Association said it was "astonished" by the move.
The move came days after Balogun received a controversial straight red card during the United States' 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
