President Donald Trump has signaled that the administration could consider relocating Seattle’s 2026 FIFA World Cup matches due to concerns about public safety under incoming socialist and police abolitionist Mayor-elect Katie Wilson.
The comments came during a White House press conference alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, where officials discussed preparations for the upcoming World Cup, which will be hosted across 16 cities in the US, as well as cities in Canada and Mexico.
When asked about Seattle’s readiness to host six World Cup matches, Trump sharply criticized mayor-elect Wilson, calling her “more than a socialist” and suggesting that her past advocacy for police abolition could jeopardize public safety during the global sporting event.
“The new mayor of Seattle is a Democratic socialist… How close are you going to be watching that city with crime?” a reporter asked.
Trump responded by comparing Seattle’s political leadership to that of Los Angeles during the Palisades Fire, while criticizing both cities' public safety records. He then suggested moving the matches to another city if there were safety concerns.
“If we think there's going to be a sign of any trouble, I would ask Gianni to move that to a different city,” Trump said. “We have a lot of cities that would love to have it… and we'll do it very safely.”
Trump went on to characterize Wilson as “a very, very liberal/communist mayor,” adding that if Seattle appeared unable to ensure safety, “we’re going to move the event to someplace where it’s going to be appreciated and safe.” Trump added regarding Wilson, “I watched her over the weekend, wow, that’s another beauty we got there.”
The comments echo remarks Trump made in September, when he suggested he might relocate Seattle’s matches if city leadership could not guarantee security.

What is this FIFA? Is it a thang?
The the ruling/organizing body for World Cup Football (i.e. Soccer).
I think Trump should threaten to remove games from any city that continues to enforce sanctuary policies.
He could do it in DC where he has full control. There aren’t any big red cities. Otherwise a big city in a red state.
They can just have all the games in Mexico and Canada for all I care.

The media has allowed democrats to pretend they are not anti police. Meanwhile they keep electing anti police communists.
Fort Worth is pretty close.
An international kickball association that in terms of corruption makes boxing associations look like choirboys

Houston
Los Angeles
San Francisco Bay Area
Seattle
Most of them should be okay. Except for maybe Philadelphia and Seattle.
DC has a high crime rate though. If he did move it, or wherever he moves it, if there is some safety concerns they will blame it on him for moving it to wherever he moves it.
Ha ha.

Wait. The government has regulatory control over this too?
Why doesn’t this fall under the 10th Amendment, or some other non-federal situation?
WHY IS EVERYTHING CONTROLLED BY GOVERNMENT?????!!!!???!?
