What we can confirm

Authoritative reporting indicates that the White House did make a call to FIFA President Gianni Infantino to request a review of Folarin Balogun’s red card, and FIFA subsequently suspended (effectively overturned) Balogun’s one‑game ban, allowing him to play, though FIFA officials insist the disciplinary panel acted independently.
