Vice President JD Vance, named vice chair of the 2026 FIFA World Cup by President Donald Trump, addressed attendees during a press conference on May 6, 2025.
While he expressed excitement for the event, which will be co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico, he issued a warning to tourists planning to attend. Vance stated that while visitors from around 100 countries are welcome to come and enjoy the games, they must leave when the event ends, or else they’ll have to speak to Secretary Noem.
