The White House says President Donald Trump plans to attend the FIFA World Cup final on July 19. In comments cited by The Hindu, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt states that she does not know whether Trump will support Argentina or Spain for the match. The update comes amid recent remarks by Trump that included criticism of Spain at a NATO summit last week, where he said the country had not done enough to help with the Iran war. According to the same reporting, Leavitt’s remarks leave open which team Trump will publicly back, despite his prior criticism of Spain. The White House announcement therefore focuses on attendance rather than any announced preference between the finalists. The match is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, and Trump’s presence is the central point of the announcement, while his expected support for either Argentina or Spain remains unspecified.
