Trump says Iran should skip World Cup for own safety

United States President Donald Trump has said that while Iran’s national team is welcome at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he believes they should not take part for their own life and safety.

Under the IPC decision, six Russian and four Belarusian athletes will compete at the Games in Italy, marking the first time since the 2014 Sochi Paralympics that the Russian flag will be flown at a Paralympic event.
