Trump invites global fans to World Cup and Olympics as US tightens visa policies

NEW YORK (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that he hopes "countless people from all over the globe" will attend the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics hosted by the U.S., making no mention of his migration crackdown that has deterred some visitors. In a wide-ranging speech, Trump said next year the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of its independence. "We will also be proudly hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and shortly thereafter, the 2028 Olympics," he said.
