Trump says 'OK' with Iran playing in US at World Cup

U.S. President Donald Trump said he was "OK" with Iran playing their World Cup games in the United States, after FIFA chief Gianni Infantino reiterated that the team would do so despite the Middle East war.

"Well, if Gianni said it, I'm okay," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about the comments by Infantino, with whom the U.S. leader has close ties. "I think let 'em play."
