""We're in pretty unique territory," she told Fortune."
"The president of Mexico is a lovely woman, but she is so afraid of the cartels that she can't even think straight," Trump said last July."
"Part of the tension comes from the relations between the three host nations."
"It is not the first time that co-hosts have dealt with complicated relations."
The World Cup will be co-hosted by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, featuring an expanded format with 48 teams. This year's event is characterized by significant geopolitical tensions, particularly due to strained relations among the host nations. President Trump's tariffs and hostile rhetoric towards Canada and Mexico have heightened these tensions. Historical precedents exist, such as the 2002 World Cup co-hosted by Japan and South Korea, but the current situation is described as unique and unprecedented in modern times.
