Trump Effect On World Cup

When FIFA voted to give the 2026 World Cup to USA, Mexico and Canada, i imagine they thought that Donald Trump would be either be in Prison or in a mental Institution by this year so i imagine they were quite shocked when the Calendar rolled around and the man in charge was, Donald Trump.  
America's reputation has been shot through for years but no more so than at the moment with a (probable) pedophile running the show and starting wars which could explain why the 2026 World Cup Organisers are concerned by how their Tournament is going in the time of Trump.
Rather than being a global showcase for America, it has falling hotel prices, canceled room blocks and weak international demand are exposing that the world’s biggest tournament is arriving at the exact moment America has become harder to visit, harder to trust, and harder to welcome.
Hotel rates in Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, and other host cities are falling instead of surging ahead of the World Cup and extreme ticket prices and inflated transit costs are putting off travellers.
A study by FIFA and the World Trade Organization published last year predicted the 39-day event would bring in 6.5 million fans and yield an overall $30.5 billion economic impact in the U.S. with an influx of visitors will likely generate billions of dollars in economic activity, benefiting the hospitality, transportation, and retail sectors in host cities but with the tournament just over two months away, things are not looking quite so rosy.
Analysis by Deutsche Bank has reported that the price of plane tickets have gone up by 140% for internal flights and there is even a ban on the fans of three teams Iran, Haiti, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo who all have games in the US.
Even getting into the country has gone from $21 to $40 for Europeans visitors who will need to apply for a non-immigrant visa and visitors from other qualifying nations with games in the U.S., including Algeria, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, and Senegal, must also pay a bond of either $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000, that will be decided at their visa interview.
On top of the added costs, worries about Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has previously arrested tourists with valid visas, may make football fans not want to attend anyway and many fans from nations such as England, Germany and The Netherland called for their nation to boycott the Finals altogether.
The American Hotels & Lodging Association reported late last month that hotel bookings in New York City for the dates of the World Cup were 2% below the same time last year when no major event was scheduled and the New York City comptroller also estimated in a report that the city may lose money because of costs like policing.
Hotel Association in Philadelphia and San Francisco, all of which are hosting World Cup matches, said that that the economic boom FIFA promised isn’t materializing despite hotels slashing their rates ahead of the World Cup. They also report thousands of room cancellations FIFA made in host cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Less than two months out from the FIFA World Cup, it has become clear that Donald Trump’s detrimental influence is casting a pall over things.
