US media: Trump backs Infantino for Guterres role
The New York Post has revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump is interested in nominating Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA, to assume the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations after António Guterres's term ends at the end of the year. Infantino, who has been leading FIFA since 2016 and was re-elected in 2023, is seen as a potential candidate due to his widespread respect on the international stage and his ability to unite people. This proposal comes amid good relations between Trump and Infantino, especially following America's hosting of the 2026 World Cup, with both praising each other's roles. Other candidates, including Michelle Bachelet and Riyo Guroshi, face political and diplomatic challenges, particularly regarding consensus among the permanent members of the Security Council, making Infantino’s or any other candidate's chances of securing the position heavily dependent on complex political balances.
