On September 25th, local time, US President Trump said that if the city hosting the 2026 World Cup is considered unsafe, it will be held in another city. Talking about Seattle and San Francisco, which will host the World Cup, Trump said that these two cities are run by "radical leftists who don't know what they are doing". He said, "We will make sure that they will be safe".
The 2026 World Cup will be held for the first time in multiple cities in three countries, the United States, Canada and Mexico. The United States will have 11 cities including Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and San Francisco as the venue of the event. while Trump has called Democratic-dominated cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York as "problematic cities", to catch illegal immigrants and fight crime by sending the National Guard to Los Angeles, Washington and other places.
