President Donald Trump was loudly booed by football fans at the World Cup final on Sunday, with jeers ringing around MetLife Stadium in New Jersey as the eighty‑year‑old appeared on the giant screen alongside First Lady Melania Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino shortly after Jennifer Hudson finished the US national anthem.
The negative reaction came as the US leader attended the Spain v Argentina match in East Rutherford in his official capacity, with broadcast crews briefly cutting away from the stadium close‑up to an aerial shot of the venue as the noise from the stands intensified.
