United States president Donald Trump says his Fifa counterpart Gianni Infantino would “very easily” move 2026 World Cup matches away from designated host cities if he asked him to.

Trump also indicated he would seek to move the 2028 Olympic Games away from Los Angeles if he felt the city was not safe.
