With the FIFA World Cup drawing closer, Trump officials on Tuesday touted the United States’ role as a host country — but not without issuing warnings to visitors in line with the administration’s anti-immigration agenda.

The cameras rolled on Tuesday as President Donald Trump held his first 2026 World Cup task force meeting in a public spectacle that included several Cabinet members, as well as FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

Despite winning Michigan in 2024, Trump's performance receives unfavorable marks from 50% of respondents, with economic and foreign policy actions drawing particular criticism.

If the US president moderates his tariff war against China, or if value networks find ways of “ China-washing ” exports to the US via third countries, the same can happen in reverse. Only if Trump is determined to keep ratcheting up protection to stop imports will trade and the economy fail to recover.

The Trump administration wants a big boost in funding for its immigration agenda. On Tuesday Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem testified in front of lawmakers to discuss that request.

The Department of Homeland Security said that those who are in the country illegally and want to self-deport must use the CBP Home App and return to their home country to receive a $1,000 stipend.

The Department of Homeland Security claims payments will be issued after individuals leave the US, but immigrants' rights lawyers and advocates are sceptical. View on euronews
