* 2028 Los Angeles Olympics & Paralympics: Trump stated that if any city is perceived as posing even a “slightest risk” to the Games, his administration “will not allow it.”
* Increased Security Measures: Since January 2025, Trump has deployed the National Guard and federal agents to Los Angeles and Washington D.C. to combat crime, and plans to send troops to Memphis and Chicago.
* 2026 World Cup: Trump views tensions with Mexico and Canada as a positive (“a good thing”) that adds “spice” to the 2026 World Cup.
* Russia & 2026 World Cup: He suggested that allowing Russia to participate in the 2026 World Cup could be an “incentive” to end the war in Ukraine.
