Joshua Kushner regrets FIFA World Cup investment plan after backlash
–
Neutral summary
Investor Joshua Kushner, brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, said he would not have engaged in FIFA's plan to open the World Cup to private investors had he anticipated the scale of opposition. In his first public comments since the project collapsed, he admitted his company “failed to appreciate the political dynamics of global football” and blamed power struggles within the sport for the fallout. Kushner added that he still supports the “motivations of the project” behind FIFA Forward Enterprise. The statement comes as UEFA seeks permission from a US federal court to subpoena Kushner over his dealings with FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
