Trump Attends World Cup Final at New York/New Jersey Stadium

President Donald Trump attended the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina at New York/New Jersey Stadium on Sunday. Observing from his suite, Trump was accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The event was marked by Jennifer Hudson’s stirring performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” captivating the sold-out crowd.

Despite Team USA’s earlier exit in the Round of 16 against Belgium, Hudson’s rendition was praised, engaging every note before the audience of over 80,000. Trump appeared on the broadcast, receiving applause from the audience.

The closing ceremony presented more than music; British singer Robbie Williams performed, and actor Tom Cruise addressed the crowd, highlighting themes of unity across the host nations, the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz brought the World Cup trophy in a Louis Vuitton case, while Mario Kempes, the 1978 Argentina World Cup champion, displayed it to the audience.

As the ceremony concluded, Spain and Argentina’s teams took to the pitch in East Rutherford, New Jersey, each eager to celebrate victory. Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, aimed to defend their title after winning against France in 2022, while Spain sought their second triumph since 2010, with talents like Lamine Yamal and Mikel Moreno.
