US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Australia had agreed to grant asylum to some of Iran's visiting women's football team, whose players refused to sing the national anthem while playing there during the Middle East war.
"I just spoke to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, of Australia, concerning the Iranian National Women’s Soccer Team. He’s on it! Five have already been taken care of," Trump said on his Truth Social network, less than two hours after an initial post urging Australia to take them in.
