United States President Donald Trump has publicly thanked FIFA after the governing body suspended the red-card sanction issued to USA striker Folarin Balogun.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee overturned the automatic one-match suspension following Balogun’s dismissal in the USA’s Round of 32 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, clearing the striker to feature in Monday’s FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clash against Belgium.

Trump welcomed the decision, describing it as positive news for the U.S. national team as they prepare for a crucial knockout encounter.
