White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the World Cup final to be held at MetLife in New Jersey next Sunday. Leavitt announced that Trump will arrive in New York on Friday, where he will participate in a FIFA reception to be held at Trump Tower. Then, on Sunday, he will be present in the VIP box for the final between Spain and Argentina. During the briefing, Leavitt was asked whether Trump is expected to support Argentina, given the recent political tensions between the U.S. administration and Spain. The spokesperson did not provide a definitive answer but responded with a smile that she would look into the matter and return with an answer later.
