Trump taps Andrew Giuliani to lead task force on 2026 World Cup

On Tuesday at the White House, President Donald Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and announced that Andrew Giuliani will lead the task force overseeing preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
The task force was created amid past trade disputes and travel experts' concerns about U.S. Preparations for the jointly hosted tournament involving the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
During the first task force meeting, Trump praised Giuliani, highlighted coordinated efforts with neighbors, and emphasized federal funding for security in host cities.
Trump stated there is 'no tension' between the North American hosts, called cooperation 'total,' and said the World Cup would surpass previous tournaments in success.
The administration expects visitors from nearly 100 countries, aims for strong economic benefits, and encourages road trips as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration in 2026.
