President Trump stood before the nation and the world at the Kennedy Center this week to announce that the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw will be held in Washington, a move few on the left expected but many Americans should welcome. He reminded everyone that bringing such a massive international event to our soil wasn’t handed to us — it was secured by leadership that puts America first and refuses to bow to globalist indifference.
The president also used the platform to praise FIFA chief Gianni Infantino and to accept the organization’s inaugural peace prize, underscoring that diplomacy through sport is an American advantage when our leaders show strength. Conservatives should cheer a White House that leverages cultural influence to advance peace and American interests abroad, rather than surrendering every stage to hostile critics.
Trump made the practical case too, arguing the World Cup will deliver huge economic benefits and create jobs across the country, reminding voters that big events mean big opportunities for small businesses and working families. This administration has consistently emphasized results — not virtue signaling — and a global tournament of this scale promises real dollars and real employment in American communities.
On security and travel, the president was blunt: America will welcome fans, but we will do it on our terms with robust vetting and sensible policies that protect citizens while facilitating tourism and business. That pragmatic approach — secure borders, efficient entry for legitimate visitors — is the kind of common-sense leadership the open-borders crowd never seems to grasp.
Make no mistake, this is also a victory for American prestige and for an administration that has made bold moves to put our country back on top in every arena, from trade to major international events. Trump reminded audiences that he played a decisive role in securing high-profile global competitions, a point left-wing media finds politically inconvenient but which hard-working Americans recognize as delivering concrete wins.
As heads of state and sporting dignitaries descend on Washington for the draw, conservatives should demand that our leadership keep delivering — safer streets, stronger borders, and booming local economies during events like this. Let the critics whine; patriots know that when America leads, the whole country benefits, and we should back the policies that make that leadership possible.
