President Trump restored the Christopher Columbus statue near the White House and almost immediately, more Europeans (and other @FIFAWorldCup guests!) began discovering America.
It’s really a joy to see people experience idiosyncrasies and sights and landmarks of USA.
When Trump secured the World Cup during his first term:
—Mikie Sherrill was a random lawyer running for Congress
—Kathy Hochul was Lt. Governor under Andrew Cuomo
—Zohran Mamdani wasn’t even an American citizen
Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecRubio, the U.S. is committed to enhancing our sports diplomacy efforts around the world. Our MOU with @UFC is the latest example
The American flag represents 250 years of valor, sacrifice, and patriotism. 🇺🇸
Today we honor the Stars and Stripes and the freedom it has brought our country.
“Legolas of the Woodland Realm. My goodness look at you, so handsome. Isn’t he handsome folks? His dad’s a great guy too. Great guy. A lot of people say the Sindar are a scared people but not me. I think they’re brave. Thranduil, we give him a lot of money in foreign aid.”
Beautiful evening at #FIFAWorldCup with @MoroccoinUSA and @BrazilinUSA! After a year of superb and dogged work by the WH-led task force, thrilling to see the World Cup come together, and a great pleasure to welcome so many friends to the USA. Go teams!
So far in 2026: We’ve had TEAM USA win Gold in hockey. We’ve had astronauts circling the moon. We’ve got the World Cup here. We have UFC at the White House. Everyone is getting skinny. We’re curing pancreatic cancer. It’s America’s 250th.
AND YOU’RE BLACKPILLING?
Thrilled to have been in Los Angeles to cheer on @USMNT for a win tonight! The world has come to America for #FIFAWorldCup and our consular teams made sure they could get here! We surged consular staff worldwide and launched FIFA PASS to meet strong visa demand - making it possible to safely and efficiently welcome ticketholders, teams, and staff to the greatest sporting event in history. #GoTeamUSA
