Trump wants US to host World Cup alone; FIFA president proposes US-China co-host

US President Donald Trump has stated that he wants the United States to host the next men's FIFA World Cup alone, excluding previous co-hosts Mexico and Canada. This statement comes as the US prepares to host the 2026 tournament together with these two countries. Meanwhile, FIFA President Gianni Infantino revealed that he proposed the possibility of a joint US-China hosting bid. This proposal signals FIFA's efforts to expand the World Cup's geographic reach and involve the world's largest economies. Trump's desire to host without North American partners raises questions about future negotiations and the 2026 tournament's arrangements.
