US president elect Donald Trump has made a dramatic U-turn on his policy towards football. The tycoon had previously vowed to make football illegal should he win the presidency, describing it as an un-American import.
However, he has instead indicated a policy reversal by appointing Michel Platini and Sepp Blatter as his chief sports advisors. Trump is said to be impressed by their entrepreneurship in the face of bureaucracy.
Speaking off the cuff in his bathrobe, Trump told a press conference the USA would offer to host the Africa Cup of Nations due to be held in Gabon next year, as a friendly gesture to counterbalance accusations of racism. The offer was later retracted in a series of uncharacteristically coherent tweets.
