President Trump attended the FIFA Club World Cup final in NJ on July 13. Some family came, but not all. See pictures.
President Donald Trump attended Sunday's FIFA Club World Cup final July 13, awkwardly celebrating Chelsea's win amid audible boos, eventually being pulled away by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
Trump on Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of an attempt on his life, joining family, friends and close advisers to watch as Chelsea took down Paris Saint-Germain 3-0. Trump's participation in the Club World Cup trophy ceremony confused Chelsea star Cole Palmer, who questioned why the president was front-and-center during their celebration. A viral video also seemingly showed Chelsea captain Reece James ask if Trump was going to leave.
Trump arrived at MetLife Stadium ahead of kickoff with First Lady Melania Trump and was joined by other family members, although not everyone attended. Here's the list of who joined Trump in the VIP box, and who decided to forgo the soccer match.
