US President Donald Trump received a hostile reaction from fans as he presented the World Cup trophy to Spain.

Donald Trump was booed by fans at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.

The President of the United States joined FIFA president Gianni Infantino on the podium to present the trophy after Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time.

As the two men stepped out onto the pitch at MetLife Stadium on Sunday (19.07.26), boos and jeers could be heard ringing out.

Despite the reaction, Trump could still be seen waving out to people in the stands.

At one point, just before Spain lifted the iconic trophy, Infantino was seen trying to usher the US President out of the way so they could celebrate as a team.

Before the match kicked off, Trump spoke to Fox News and claimed he tried to tell Infantino that the US is "not a soccer country" when the idea of the World Cup was first presented.

However, he said: "It turns out we are a soccer country."

Trump added: "I don’t think there’s ever been anything like what’s happened with the whole World Cup, it’s been beautiful to watch."

Earlier in the tournament, Trump left fans curious after admitting he phoned Infantino and asked him to "review" a red card and suspension handed to US striker Folarin Balogun, which allowed him to still play in the round of 16 game against Belgium.

The US still lost 4-1, and the Belgium players were seen appearing to mock Trump's dance moves from his 2024 presidential campaign.
