President Trump suggested to reporters Thursday that he would move matches for next summer's 2026 men's World Cup away from U.S. host cities that are "even a little bit dangerous."
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump first guaranteed that the World Cup would be "very secure," but then suggested that he would intervene and strip host cities of matches. A reporter mentioned Seattle and San Francisco, which will host six games each, as cities that have pushed back against the Trump administration's immigration policies.
The reporter asked Trump what he would do if those cities "did not cooperate" with the administration.
"Well, that's an interesting question," said Trump, "but we're going to make sure they're safe. They're run by radical left lunatics who don't know what they're doing."
Seattle's Lumen Field will host four group-stage games, including the U.S. team's second group match on June 19. Lumen Field will also host a round of 32 game and one round of 16 match. Levi's Stadium, which is actually in Santa Clara, roughly 40 miles south of San Francisco, will host five group-stage matches and one match from the round of 32.
Since FIFA determined the World Cup schedule in February, each of the 11 U.S. host cities has been preparing for the myriad of requirements that a World Cup commands. Along with Seattle and San Francisco, the other host cities are Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Miami, New York/New Jersey and Philadelphia. Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey will host matches in Mexico. Vancouver and Toronto will host matches in Canada.
It is unclear how feasible it would be to change sites for World Cup games at this point in the process, as the event begins next June.
Trump does not have explicit authority to move World Cup games out of any city. He does, though, have a direct line to the FIFA president, his "great friend" Gianni Infantino.

FIFA should move all the games to Canada and Mexico. The US doesn't deserve to be involved in the World Cup with this ridiculous buffoon in charge - he will politicise one of the biggest sporting tournaments in the world.
