President Donald Trump has signed an executive order establishing the White House Task Force on the FIFA World Cup 2026, one of the largest sporting events in history that will be co-hosted by the United States next summer.
The move, described in the March 7 directive as a coordinated federal effort to ensure the success of the historic soccer tournament, places Trump at the helm of preparations for the event as the task force’s chief, with Vice President JD Vance to serve as second-in-command.
