After all, Portugal, Spain, and Morocco will host the 2030 World Cup. On the other, Saudi Arabia won the bid for the 2034 World Cup.

>Coming back to Trump’s point, he claimed that the US deserves another shot at hosting the World Cup, ideally alone or with China.

>“You should choose the United States of America again. This time, we will leave Canada and Mexico out,” Trump said. “You choose us and pick somebody else for the next one, and that’ll take some of the anger, hatred, and steam out of everyone.”

>The US President added, “Gianni [Infantino] also had another idea, he said, ‘We could do China and the US for the next time.’ So, you have a nice short flight in between games.”

Trump was obviously joking about the US and China hosting a FIFA World Cup together. For starters, fans can’t ignore the political tensions between the two nations.

>Additionally, the flight between games will not be short by any means, but that’s Trump, the US President, who likes to make jokes about the biggest sports tournament in the world.
