Trump’s anti-immigrant policies clash with promised World Cup ‘unity’
AI Summary
The US is preparing to co-host the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada, promoting it as a "global moment of unity." However, President Trump's existing anti-immigrant policies and rhetoric are raising concerns about the US's ability to deliver a welcoming tournament. While the White House Task Force on the World Cup is working to shorten visa wait times, current travel bans impacting 19 countries will remain in place for fans, though players and staff will receive visas. This has drawn criticism from organizations like Amnesty International, who argue that discriminatory policies undermine the idea of unity. The US has already denied visas to some members of the Iranian delegation for the World Cup group stage draw.
