Summary
84-decibel crowd noise greeted President Trump as he walked onto the field for the World Cup final medal ceremony and trophy presentation, where he was booed again.
Video from the ceremony appeared to show FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Spanish captain Rodri trying to usher Trump away so Spain could lift the trophy without him lingering onstage.
The awkward scene followed Spain's victory over Argentina and echoed earlier reports that Trump and Infantino were booed during the presentation and later cropped from some celebration photos.
The episode has since spilled into U.S. late-night television, where hosts mocked Trump's repeated appearances at losing sports moments and his place in Spain's title celebration.
