Argentina prepares for final as Trump suggests USA-only 2030 World Cup Argentina's national team, riding a five-game winning streak, focuses on the 2026 World Cup final against Spain this Sunday in New Jersey. Meanwhile, former president Donald Trump has sparked controversy by suggesting the United States should be the sole host of the next World Cup, excluding Mexico and Canada. ## What did Trump say about the 2030 World Cup? At an event in New York, Trump argued that the success of the 2026 World Cup in the U.S. justifies the country hosting again, but this time without its Concacaf partners. "It was nice to have them, but we chose someone else for the next one," he declared. The former president also joked about the possibility of China and the U.S. co-hosting the tournament to shorten team travel. ## How did FIFA respond? Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, attended the event and praised the World Cup's organization but did not directly address Trump's proposal. FIFA has yet to officially announce the hosts for the 2030 World Cup. ## What does this mean for Argentina? As political controversy continues, Argentina's team, coming off a 2-1 semifinal win over England, focuses on its next challenge against Spain. With an unbeaten streak of five matches, Lionel Scaloni's squad aims for its third World Cup title. Their next match is on July 19 at MetLife Stadium.
