Trump 'never rules anything out' to ensure World Cup's safety, key aide tells Sky News

Donald Trump's top World Cup adviser has stated that the president 'never rules anything out' to ensure the safety of next year's tournament, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Andrew Giuliani, who leads the White House World Cup task force, emphasized that safety and security are the administration's top priorities, even suggesting that matches could be moved from cities deemed unsafe. Human rights groups have raised concerns about the potential for civil liberties to be threatened during the event, but Giuliani dismissed these claims as 'absurd.'

With the tournament set to be the largest in history, security measures are being ramped up, including significant spending on countering drone threats and the possibility of increased immigration enforcement. Despite political tensions between the host countries, Giuliani highlighted ongoing cooperation to ensure the event's success. Special visa processes will be in place for fans, though travel bans remain for some nations, with exceptions for team delegations. The administration sees the tournament as an opportunity to showcase the United States on the world stage during its 250th anniversary.
