US President Donald Trump will not attend the World Cup opener between the United States and Paraguay in Los Angeles on Friday, according to a Politico report. Instead, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the official US delegation, while Paraguay's President Santiago Peña is expected to attend for his country.
A Politico report, linked in the batch, states that US President Donald Trump will not attend the World Cup opener between the United States and Paraguay in Los Angeles on Friday. The report says Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the official US delegation to the match instead, and that Paraguay's President Santiago Peña is expected to attend for his country. The report itself is the sole source for this detail; Trump's earlier statement that he would attend the World Cup—reported by The Zioneer earlier today (18:33 UTC)—did not specify a particular match. This new report now clarifies that the president will miss the opening game, which features the US team.
