In a surprising move, US President Donald Trump has threatened to relocate World Cup matches away from host cities he considers "dangerous," specifically targeting Seattle and San Francisco. The president's comments, made ahead of the draw for the 2026 tournament, suggest he may intervene in the selection of venues, citing concerns over the cities being "run by radical left lunatics." Seattle's Lumen Field and Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, near San Francisco, are both scheduled to host six matches during the World Cup. The president's warning comes as the draw for the 2026 tournament is set to take place on December 5th, raising questions about the potential impact on the event's organization and logistics.
