Trump wants to keep the Hercules Cup in the White House office, FIFA president "smiled": he still has to leave it to the World Cup champion

[Global Network reporter Zhao Jiandong] According to the US "Beast Daily", when US President Trump received FIFA President Infantino at the White House on the 22nd local time, he proposed to leave the "Hercedes Cup" (FIFA World Cup Trophy) in the Oval Office for display. Infantino first helped Trump smooth things over and said he could keep it for the time being, but then declined the request, explaining that the trophy would be kept for the World Cup champion next summer.

"Can I keep it?" Trump asked Infantino after taking over the "Hercules Cup" in the Oval Office of the White House on the 22nd, "To be honest, it is very suitable to hang on the wall over there, so we will put it under the angel statue."

reported that FIFA President Infantino smiled nervously and explained: Um... you can keep it until we have to award it to the World Cup next year. Since 1974, every World Cup champion has lifted this historic trophy. The most recent one is Argentina (2022 Qatar World Cup champion), led by captain Messi. Infantino finally said that the trophy will be left for the World Cup champion next summer.

"But Infantino still ensures that the president will not return empty-handed," said the Daily Beast. As a "compensation", Infantino presented Trump with the first ticket to the giant paper version of next year's World Cup final, and hinted that the mediocre American men's football team is expected to win next summer's game. According to reports, although Infantino politely declined Trump to take the "Hercules Cup", Trump had previously displayed the trophy of the 2025 Club World Cup championship in the Oval Office, forcing the champion Chelsea club to only use replica trophys.
