Trump wants to host the World Cup again, but on one condition: "We'll leave Mexico and Canada out".
President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to host the next FIFA World Cup, but under the condition that Canada and Mexico are excluded. During a reception in New York ahead of the World Cup final, Trump stated that the United States should be chosen again as host, but this time without including Canada and Mexico. The U.S. hosted 78 out of 104 matches at this year’s tournament, including all 12 games from the quarterfinals onward. While the host nation for the 2038 World Cup has not yet been announced, current FIFA rules suggest that North America and Oceania are the only continents eligible to host due to the upcoming tournaments in Africa, Europe, South America, and Asia. Trump also mentioned that FIFA President Gianni Infantino had contacted him regarding the possibility of the U.S. and China co-hosting future World Cups. Additionally, Trump intervened in a controversy involving American player Folarin Balogun, praising Infantino’s decision to lift a red card against Balogun despite the team’s loss.
