\u201cI think Kane is a great player,\u201d President Trump said. \u201cI played golf with him and I like him a lot. He\u2019s a good golfer too. He\u2019s really great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course Kane was asked about the round of golf ahead of England<\/a>\u2019s clash with Norway on Saturday, and the Bayern Munich star pulled back the curtain on his interaction with President Trump.<\/p>\n \u201cI played all right to be honest, but 18 months ago he invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach,” Kane said. \u201cSo when the President invites you somewhere… It was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him.<\/p>\n \u201cHis golf is pretty good, to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as good as him when I\u2019m his age, that\u2019s for sure. A unique experience, but I was just grateful that he invited me to play.\u201d<\/p>\n President Trump Could Be Seeing Kane Again Soon President Donald Trump will present the winners with the World Cup title this summer. | Andrew Caballero-Reynolds\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/p>\n It\u2019s no surprise President Trump will be at the World Cup<\/a> final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium, ready to watch the biggest spectacle in the sport unfold live in East Rutherford, New Jersey. But he will play a larger role than just spectator. <\/p>\n Infantino confirmed President Trump will come down to the pitch after the final whistle to present the golden trophy to the captain of the winning team, alongside the FIFA president. The action is a stark contrast to the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, where Infantino alone presented the trophy.<\/p>\n President Trump\u2019s involvement comes one summer after he presented the Club World Cup trophy to Chelsea<\/a> captain Reece James, sparking controversy and some viral reactions from the players in blue after the American did not leave the stage during the ensuing celebrations.<\/p>\n Kane would love nothing more than to find himself in a similar situation next weekend, receiving the World Cup from President Trump on behalf of England. The Three Lions came into the tournament as one of the favorites and are hoping to bring home the country\u2019s first major men\u2019s trophy since 1966.<\/p>\n President Trump would have liked to have the USMNT on the receiving end of the honor, but the Stars and Stripes crashed out on home soil after an embarrassing 4\u20131 defeat to Belgium<\/a> in the round of 16. <\/p>\n![\"President](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01kx9g7t2k2m15gwd0fs.jpg\" "\\"President")
