Trump celebrates World Cup 'record-breaking' success, suggests U.S. should host again

Donald Trump celebrated the World Cup's record-breaking success, calling it the "biggest in history" and suggesting the United States should host again. Speaking at a reception in New York, the former president proposed that the U.S. should be chosen for the next tournament, excluding Mexico and Canada.

“

I suggest, because it has been so successful… what we should do is choose the USA again, and leave Mexico and Canada out. It was nice to have them. But we chose someone else for the next one.

"I suggest, because it has been so successful... what we should do is choose the USA again, and leave Mexico and Canada out. It was nice to have them. But we chose someone else for the next one," Trump said. FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who was present, praised Trump and the organization's mission to bring joy through sports.

Gianni had another idea, said that we can have China and USA next time, so we can have a nice and short flight between matches. The players would love it.

Trump also shared a humorous anecdote about a controversial red card incident involving U.S. player Folarin Balogun. He recounted calling Infantino to complain, though he admitted he didn't explicitly tell him to let the player finish the match. The former president concluded by wishing luck to Spain and Argentina for the upcoming final.

Good luck to Spain and Argentina on Sunday.
