Donald Trump, accompanied by his wife, arrived at the World Cup final stadium in New Jersey.
He arrived on Marine One helicopter. He is watching the match with other high-ranking guests in a glassed VIP box. Next to Trump is FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Also in the box are King Philip VI of Spain, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

When Trump was briefly shown on the stadium's video screens after the US national anthem was performed, a rare dissatisfied murmur was heard from the stands.
Trump is expected to present the trophy to the winner of the match between Spain and Argentina today.
Trump has close ties with Infantino. He called the FIFA president to review the disqualification of US national team star Folarin Balogun due to a red card. And FIFA made concessions.
