US World Cup boycotts grow as Trump threatens Mexico

The US World Cup Boycotts Grow as Trump Threatens Mexico - Newsweek. Calls are growing on social media for international soccer fans to boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. This is due to growing unrest, immigration fears, and the Trump administration's moves on the international stage. The Trump administration launched a military raid in Venezuela to capture President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. In recent days, the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis by an ICE officer has further inflamed tensions. Internationally, the White House has repeatedly stated its desire for the U.S. to take control of Greenland, a Danish-owned, self-governed territory.
