Trump warns nations against opposing USA World Cup bid

United States president Donald Trump warned countries against opposing his nation's joint 2026 World Cup bid.

USA, Canada and Mexico have put together a joint bid for the showpiece tournament in eight years' time.

"The U.S. has put together a STRONG bid w/ Canada & Mexico for the 2026 World Cup," he wrote.

"It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the U.S. bid.

"Why should we be supporting these countries when they don't support us (including at the United Nations)?"
