World Cup Football Fans Warned: Trump Promises Pleasant Experience, VP Vance Advises Departure after Tournament
Warnings Issued by J.D. Vance to Attendees of the U.S. World Cup Event
Get ready, football fans! The 2026 World Cup is coming to the US, with a warm welcome from none other than President Donald Trump himself. But don't let the political tension at the border fool you—Trump's got your back. Or at least, that's what he wants you to think...
"We can't wait to welcome football fans from all over the world," Trump beamed at a White House briefing with FIFA President Gianni Infantino. With an air of optimism, he assured visitors that every branch of the government is hard at work to make the tournament a safe, successful event for all.
But it’s not all rainbows and roses—there's a catch. Trump wore the chairman's hat for the White House task force dedicated to the World Cup, and US Vice President JD Vance, his right-hand man, delivered a slightly different message.
"I know we'll have visitors from almost 100 countries. We want them to come. We want them to celebrate. We want them to watch the games," Vance said. But there's a twist: "But when the time is up, they have to go home." Otherwise, they might have to get acquainted with the Minister of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, who's known for her hardline immigration policy.
"Show the World Our True Colors"
FIFA President Gianni Infantino isn't too concerned, though. He's confident the Trump administration will rise to the occasion: "The whole world will focus on the US, and the US will welcome the world. Anyone who wants to come here to have fun, enjoy themselves, and celebrate football will be able to do so."
Over two million foreign visitors are expected to grace the US soil for the Club World Cup, starting on June 14 with Bundesliga teams Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in the lineup. This event serves as a test run for the 2026 World Cup, allowing the Department of Homeland Security to streamline travel documents and visa applications.
Trade disputes aside, Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney seem to be taking the World Cup co-host relationship in stride. "I don't see any tensions," Trump said shortly after their meeting. "We get along very well with both of them."
The U.S. government faces criticism for its immigration policies, some fearing these may deter foreign visitors from attending the World Cup events. But Trump vows to make it worth their while, promising a "seamless experience" for all visiting fans.
