President Trump has a replica of the FIFA World Cup trophy displayed in the Oval Office. A FIFA spokesman confirmed that the trophy is not the real one, which will be awarded to the tournament's winner next summer. The trophy's presence has sparked renewed interest, as it was also seen during Trump's first term. The U.S. will host most of the 2026 World Cup games, co-hosted with Canada and Mexico. Trump's relationship with FIFA president Gianni Infantino has been longstanding, with Trump supporting the U.S. World Cup bid. Recent trade tensions with Canada and Mexico have raised questions about their impact on the upcoming tournament.
