Trump Threatens to Pull World Cup and Olympics
President Donald Trump is threatening to move two major sporting events out of American cities.
He suggested Boston’s 2026 World Cup matches could be relocated due to “radical leadership” and warned Los Angeles might lose the 2028 Olympics if not “properly prepared.”
City officials fired back, emphasizing that hosting rights are locked by contract, while FIFA and the International Olympic Committee confirmed venue decisions remain with them.
For now, both events are staying put, but Trump’s comments reignite the intersection of sports and politics.
