Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House’s World Cup Task Force, claimed that U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was been guilty of “far more egregious” levels of interference during this summer’s tournament than U.S. President Donald Trump.
While Trump has proudly publicized the role he played in lobbying FIFA to review Folarin Balogun’s suspension for the U.S.’s round of 16 tie with Belgium, Starmer has been accused by Giuliani of endangering the safety of fans by appealing to keep England’s kickoff against Mexico at the pre-agreed time.
