India, Aug. 4 -- Fifa President Gianni Infantino sought support from the Trump administration amid mounting criticism after his abandoned plan to sell a stake in World Cup commercial rights, the New York Post said on Monday. It reported that Infantino had repeatedly tried and failed to reach US President Donald Trump by phone since the proposal collapsed, and the Fifa chief felt "isolated" by negative media coverage. Meanwhile, the assistant secretary of state for global public affairs said there were " no plans for (Marco) Rubio to speak to Infantino and there is no call" which has been scheduled. P16
