The meeting with his Argentine counterpart Javier Milei on Tuesday in Washington visibly inspired Donald Trump. The American president thus renewed his threat to deprive democratic municipalities of major sporting competitions, starting with the 2026 Football World Cup. A simple formality given his relations with Fifa boss Gianni Infantino, according to Donald Trump.
“If someone is doing a bad job and I think there’s a safety issue, I’ll call Gianni, who’s great, and say ‘let’s move him to another location.’ And he would do it very easily,” the head of state quietly announced to journalists present in Washington.
LA, Boston, San Francisco and Seattle in the sights
After welcoming Gianni Infantino to the White House on several occasions, Donald Trump notably saw the Fifa boss on Monday in Egypt, where he joined leaders from around the world to discuss the peace process in Gaza. The news of the day was to see the President of the United States lift the same threat in view of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

“I could say the same thing about the Olympic Games,” he said. If I think Los Angeles isn’t doing a good job, I’ll move them. » Among the major Democratic cities, Boston is to host seven 2026 World Cup matches, San Francisco and Seattle six, and Los Angeles eight. There are sports competitions that had to be prepared in a more serene context, right?
