Trump took Club World Cup trophy

The claim that "Trump took Club World Cup trophy" can be broken down into two main components: first, that Trump physically took possession of the original Club World Cup trophy, and second, that this action affected the official trophy presentation to the winning team. Multiple credible sources confirm that after the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final, Donald Trump retained the original gold-plated trophy in the Oval Office rather than returning it to FIFA or handing it over to Chelsea, the tournament winners.theguardian.comtheguardian.comTrump says Club World Cup trophy will remain in Oval Office after tournament’s...independent.co.ukindependent.co.ukTrump kept FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself - leaving champions Chelsea to...thedailybeast.comthedailybeast.comTrump Kept Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the...

However, it was Infantino who officially handed the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James. The presence and actions of Trump during the ceremony were unusual and widely reported as him inserting himself prominently into the event.

The nuance lies in understanding that Trump did not "steal" or permanently remove the trophy in a clandestine manner but rather retained it in his office with FIFA's apparent acquiescence or arrangement. The original trophy is described as valuable and likely to be archived if kept permanently.thedailybeast.comthedailybeast.comTrump Kept Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the... This situation is unusual but not unprecedented in sports diplomacy or politics where trophies sometimes become symbolic artifacts beyond their sporting context.

In conclusion, while Trump did keep the original Club World Cup trophy for himself after the tournament ended, Chelsea was given a replica for their official use. The claim is therefore mostly true but requires context to avoid implying improper theft or misconduct.
