Trump warns he'll move World Cup soccer game out of unsafe' cities like  Santa Clara?
"Trump made the comment during a gathering of reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday, and was asked specifically about games to be played in the Seattle and San Francisco areas. He said the cities are run by radical left lunatics who don't know what they're doing, and added that if any city we think is going to be even a little bit dangerous for the World Cup then we won't allow it."
"Levi Stadium is 44 miles south of downtown San Francisco. It was also unclear if the threat about the World Cup, in summer 2026, would similarly mean that the president would seek to have Super Bowl LX set for Levi's Stadium on February 8, 2026 moved elsewhere. Santa Clara city officials did not respond immediately to a request for comment Friday, and a message left for Santa Clara Police Chief Cory Morgan was not returned immediately."
President Donald Trump suggested moving 2026 FIFA World Cup games away from some U.S. host cities over safety concerns, and conflated San Francisco with Santa Clara, the site of Levi's Stadium. The comments came during a gathering of reporters in the Oval Office when he was asked about Seattle and San Francisco-area games. He called the cities 'run by radical left lunatics' and said any city deemed 'even a little bit dangerous' would not be allowed to host. Questions remain about potential economic impact on Santa Clara, whether the threat could affect Super Bowl LX plans, and local officials had not immediately responded.
