Can Trump really push Infantino to the head of the UN?

The article discusses the possibility of Donald Trump supporting Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, as a candidate for the position of United Nations Secretary-General. It explains that while Trump could publicly endorse Infantino, this support alone would not guarantee his nomination due to the complex selection process involving the United Nations Security Council. The article notes that Infantino lacks diplomatic experience, which is crucial for the role. It outlines the UN's selection process, emphasizing the need for support from multiple permanent members of the Security Council, including the US, China, Russia, France, and the UK. Each of these nations has the power to veto a candidate. The article also mentions that the current Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, is nearing the end of his second term, and the race for his successor is already underway, with six candidates having been announced.
