TRUMP SAYS HE MADE BID SUCCESSFUL

-

President Donald Trump said he “worked hard” to bring the World Cup to Canada, the U.S. and Mexico in 2026.

He congratula­ted himself two days after the tournament was awarded.

“Thank you for all of the compliment­s on getting the World Cup to come to the U.S.A., Mexico and Canada,” Trump tweeted. “I worked hard on this, along with a Great Team of talented people.

“We never fail, and it will be a great World Cup! A special thanks to (New England Patriots owner) Bob Kraft for excellent advice.”

A source close to the United Bid said, “(Trump) played a role” and that it “wasn’t all negative.”
