Donald Trump unexpectedly praised England captain Harry Kane on Truth Social, applauding the striker’s leadership and performances during the 2026 World Cup.

In a surprise crossover between politics and football, U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly praised England captain Harry Kane.
According to The Independent, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to commend the Bayern Munich striker, describing him as a world-class player and highlighting his influence on England’s World Cup campaign.
The post caught many fans off guard, with Trump rarely commenting on international football stars. His remarks came as Kane continued to play a key role for England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leading the line and helping the Three Lions progress through the tournament.
Kane, England’s all-time leading scorer, has been one of the standout performers for Gareth Southgate’s side, combining goals, leadership and experience on football’s biggest stage.
