Sportspeople featured prominently in the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump's re-election on November 5th, with golfer Bryson DeChambeau and UFC president Dana White making appearances on stage during his victory speech in Florida.

And Dana White was back again, alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino, at Trump鈥檚 inauguration.

It was a reminder of Trump's sporting connections ahead of his second term in office, during which time, the United States will host this year鈥檚 inaugural expanded FIFA Club World Cup, next year鈥檚 FIFA World Cup, and the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028, with Trump set to be a highly visible presence at them all.

Mark Chapman is joined by Christine Brennan, sports columnist for USA Today, and Simon Evans, US sports correspondent for AFP, to discuss what impact Trump and some of his policies could have on the sporting landscape over the next four years, including hearing from the likes of two-time golf major champion Jon Rahm, and the president of World Athletics, Lord Sebastian Coe, who could be the president of the International Olympic Committee when Trump鈥檚 America hosts the LA games.
