‘For their own life and safety’

‘For their own life and safety’

A day after Iran’s Minister of Sport Ahmad Donyamali said ‘under no circumstances can Iran participate’ at this summer’s FIFA World Cup, President Donald Trump said on Thursday he did not think it would be “appropriate” for the Iranian football team to participate in the event co-hosted by the United States. Trump added ‘for their own life and safety’, the team shouldn’t take part in the tournament while the countries are embroiled in a war. “The Iran National Soccer Team is welcome to the World Cup,” Trump wrote on his social media site. “But I really don’t believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety.” The US is hosting the tournament with Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. Trump’s message appears to depart somewhat from what he relayed Tuesday at the White House to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who later publicly said that Trump assured him the Iranian players and coaches would be welcome. A White House official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations, …
