The denial comes after media reports, including from New York Post and The Times, suggested Infantino was seeking Trump's support for the plans that led UEFA to threaten boycotts of FIFA competitions and express strong distrust in the FIFA president. Trump had previously responded 'no' when asked directly about speaking with Infantino on the matter.
