Concerned European football chiefs discuss response to Trump over Greenland
AI Summary
European football leaders held informal discussions in Budapest regarding potential responses to Donald Trump's interest in annexing Greenland. The talks, held on the sidelines of a Hungarian football federation event, involved about 20 football association heads concerned about the implications for European security and the upcoming World Cup, set to be co-hosted by the US. While football authorities have been hesitant to react publicly, potential actions like a UEFA-led boycott of the World Cup have been discussed if Trump escalates the situation, particularly if military aggression is involved. FIFA's leadership, which has close ties with the Trump administration, views such escalation as unlikely. Further discussions are expected, with UEFA's executive committee meeting in Brussels in February.
