With MLB possibly headed toward a labor dispute, President Donald Trump sided firmly with the owners on Friday, stating his support for a salary cap.

Speaking aboard Air Force One, according to USA Today, Trump said of MLB, “If you don’t have a salary cap, you don’t have a sport, because they can’t help themselves. Football has a salary cap. (MLB) should have done it a long time ago.
