Watch as US president Donald Trump jokingly hands the press a red card during a meeting with FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Tuesday.

The meeting was held at the Oval Office, as the United States, along with Canada and Mexico, start preparations to host to the World Cup in 2026 for the first time since the international spectacle descended upon the USA in 1994.

During the meeting, Trump received an explanation from Infantino about when yellow and red cards are used during the course of a match.

Upon hearing the red card is used to ‘kick out’ a player, the president gestured at assembled reporters and photographers in attendance: ‘That’s very good, I like that.’
