Washington, United States, December 2 (Udaipur Kiran) | The White House on Monday confirmed that US President Donald Trump will attend the FIFA World Cup 2026 final draw to be held in Washington later this week.
The United States will jointly host the 2026 FIFA World Cup along with Canada and Mexico.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the media, “President Trump will attend the FIFA World Cup final draw at the Kennedy Center on Friday.”
Trump has included the FIFA World Cup among the priorities of his second term and has described the tournament as a major highlight of America’s 250th Independence anniversary next year.
However, the mega sporting event has not remained untouched by the political developments arising out of Trump’s hardline policies.
President Trump has earlier also indicated the possibility of shifting matches from certain US host cities, particularly from areas which he has described as Democratic-ruled regions affected by crime and illegal immigration.
