Iglesias responded with humor, saying he would shake Trump’s hand but hoped the moment would end quickly.“I will shake hands with Trump, but I hope it will be quick… I don’t want to go to jail,” Iglesias said, according to Italian news website Il Messaggero.The Celta Vigo forward said he simply wants to enjoy the opportunity if Spain lift the trophy.“I hope to greet him at a time when we are all very happy, and that it will be over very quickly so that I can forget it.”Iglesias also said he didn’t want the moment to turn into a political issue.“I don’t want to go to jail for refusing. I don’t think now is the time to cause controversy because people already know very well what I think.
