Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer says he has “no problem” with US President Donald Trump contacting FIFA over a red card given to a star on the US football team. “No one’s denying that he made the call to FIFA’s President … if you do look back, there are at least two instances of other countries weighing in on similar penalties that were done to players in previous World Cups,” Mr Spicer told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I have no problem. The President of the United States is supposed to be our greatest advocate, and him weighing in on what I think was a ridiculous call is something that a President should be doing.”
