Russian President Vladimir Putin may attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, US leader Donald Trump said, APA reports citing TASS.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump showed a photo of himself and Putin, which had been taken at the recent Russia-US summit in Alaska.
"That's a man named Vladimir Putin, who I believe will be coming [to the World Cup], depending on what happens, he may be coming and he may not, depending on what happens. We have a lot of things happening over the next couple of weeks, but I thought it was a nice picture of him," Trump noted.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place in the US, Mexico and Canada between June 11 and July 19. Russia’s national team has been suspended from international conventions since February 2022.
