Football legend, Diego Maradona has been denied entry into
the USA after he insulted President Donald Trump.
His lawyer, Matias Morla confirmed that Maradona was denied
Visa to the US after he granted an interview to Venezuelan TV station
'TeleSur', where he described Trump as a
puppet.
Matias said: "You can imagine, I was in the embassy
and I said 'Diego, please don't talk about the United States. Because the
interview was with TeleSur and I know how these things go. And the second
question was 'What do you think of Donald Trump'?
"He said 'Donald Trump is a chirolita (a slang term
for dummy or puppet)?' Morla said that following Maradona’s controversial
comments, he told the ex-player, "After this, I said I'm going to have to
represent you in Miami instead."
At the time of the interview, Maradona, 57, was in the
process of applying for a visa to the States, which was subsequently denied.
The football legend who's currently managing Al Fujairah, a
club based in the Arab Emirates needed to travel to Miami, Florida, to face a
trial involving his ex-wife Claudia Villafane.
