In the final of the 2026 World Cup, the Spanish national team defeated the Argentine national team 1–0.
Argentine national team defender Cristian Romero refused to shake hands with U.S. President Donald Trump after the final.
During the medal ceremony, Trump presented medals to players from both teams. When it was Romero’s turn, the defender walked past the U.S. president without shaking his hand.
As a reminder, Trump has been linked to a high-profile scandal at the World Cup. The U.S. president called the FIFA president to have the red card given to an American soccer player rescinded.
