US President Donald Trump got booed on his one-year assassination attempt anniversary as he attended the FIFA Club World Cup finals between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
According to The Guardian, Trump was booed by the FIFA Club World Cup crowd at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday, July 13, as he attended the final match with wife Melania Trump.
The Republican president was booed in between the applause when he appeared on the screen during the national anthem before the game and later when he presented awards, runners-up medals, and the competition trophy to Chelsea along with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
The 79-year-old even stayed on the stage after presenting the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James and joined the FIFA Club World Cup champions celebrations.
After flying back to Washington following the match, he told reporters, “It was an upset today, I guess. But it was a great match.”
Infantino also on Saturday thanked Trump for his support and said that he had "embraced immediately the importance of the FIFA Club World Cup, and of course of the World Cup next year."
It is worth noting that the next year's FIFA World Cup final will also be held in the same stadium on the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.
