Reece James has vowed to avoid a repeat of the awkward trophy presentation incident involving Donald Trump if a similar situation arises with England next summer. The viral moment occurred when the US President unexpectedly joined Chelsea’s Club World Cup celebrations last summer.
During the ceremony, Chelsea captain James found himself on stage as Trump inserted himself into the proceedings, eliciting a reaction from Cole Palmer. However, James humorously stated that if a similar scenario unfolded and England triumphed in the World Cup next summer, he would defer the handling of the situation to Harry Kane.
Expressing his aspirations, James shared his dream of clinching the World Cup with England after leading Chelsea to victory in July. He emphasized the distinction between club and international football, highlighting the importance of unity, competition, and leadership within the team.
Reflecting on the past incident with Trump at the Club World Cup final, James remained focused on his personal achievement with Chelsea and expressed his deep connection to the club. He shared his joy at captaining the team and securing two trophies in the season, fulfilling a childhood dream.
