President Donald Trump will miss the United States' World Cup opening match. His schedule is tight, requiring him to be in Washington D.C. for the UFC Freedom 250 event. This is not unprecedented for a host nation's leader. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the U.S. delegation. Andrew Giuliani suggested Trump may engage more with the World Cup later.
