The Tai-Ex opened down 16-points this morning from yesterday's close, at

Posted on 2026-07-14 10:38:19

Former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is facing backlash for comments
about France's World Cup team ahead of their semifinal match.

He claimed the team "does not have any French players," which leaders in
France and Spain have called racist.

Rajoy made the remarks in a column for a Spanish outlet.

France's foreign minister and the president of the French soccer federation
condemned (譴責) the comments, calling them racist.

Spain's ruling Socialist government and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez swiftly
condemned the comments.

It's not the first time France's team has faced racism during this year's
World Cup.

Earlier this month, France captain and star player Kylian Mbappé condemned a
Paraguayan senator over remarks she made following Paraguay’s loss to France
in the round of 16.
