Donald Trump announced that the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw will occur in Washington DC. The event is scheduled for December 5 at the John F. Kennedy Center. Gianni Infantino presented Trump with the World Cup trophy and a ticket to the final.

I was just sent a picture by someone who wants to be [at FIFA World Cup events] badly,” Trump said, holding up the glossy image.
