Mrs Clinton took to X, formerly Twitter, to speak out after referee Omar Artan was turned away by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at Miami International Airport on Saturday. She said: As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive.
