Topic Originator: Wotsit

A German Football Association (DFB) official has said it is time to consider a boycott of the 2026 World Cup in the wake of United States President Donald Trump`s actions.

The US will host world football`s showpiece event this summer, along with Canada and Mexico.

President Trump caused outrage among European leaders earlier this month by threatening to acquire Greenland, which is controlled by Denmark.

The 79-year-old threatened to impose tariffs on eight European countries - including Germany - who opposed his plan.

Trump has since rowed back on that threat, but tensions between European leaders and the US government remain high.
