United States President Donald Trump admitted that he was very much open to the prospect of taking World Cup matches away from Boston, citing the politics of mayor Michelle Wu.
The U.S. are one of three co-hosts for the 2026 World Cup along with Mexico and Canada, although the vast majority of matches will be staged at one of 11 American venues. Concerns have already been raised regarding the scrutiny which visiting supporters may face from the U.S. immigration services and Trump has now sparked more controversy about the safety of certain cities.
