Trump, Vance won't attend U.S. World Cup match in Seattle
Local officials said the White House gave no attendance plans, as travel and security concerns could disrupt fans and roads.
- Neither President Donald Trump nor Vice President JD Vance are expected to attend the USA vs. Belgium World Cup match on Monday at Seattle Stadium, King County spokesperson Cameron Satterfield confirmed Thursday.
- Their attendance would likely complicate travel for fans and cause significant traffic disruption, as experienced during past visits from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, when secret service shut down roads.
- Cabinet members including Second lady Usha Vance, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Army Dan Driscoll have attended other matches, contrasting with the president and vice president's absence.
- Local entities were informed of possible temporary flight restrictions for Monday, July 6, if the president or vice president opted to attend; the confirmed absence eliminates this logistical requirement.
- Neither Trump nor Vance has ever visited Seattle in their capacity as president or vice president, maintaining their current absence from the region despite the high-profile match.
