Relocate/remove Boston from hosting 2026 World Cup matches

"We could take them away."

The promise

In October 2025, Donald Trump threatened to revoke the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches scheduled in the Boston area (specifically Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts) citing concerns over public safety and criticizing the city’s mayor. He suggested he could appeal to FIFA President Gianni Infantino and “take them away” if conditions are not met. However the decision of match venues lies with FIFA, and host cities were finalized years earlier (2022). As such this remains a rhetorical threat rather than a concrete executed promise. The comment fits his broader pattern of using sports hosting leverage for political pressure. No official removal has yet occurred, and Boston remains scheduled as of 2025.

How your vote counts

One answer per question, per promise: Your browser remembers your vote. Choosing another answer replaces the previous one instead of adding an extra vote. You can vote on other promises too.
Trust Index = Yes ÷ (Yes + No) × 100: A promise's confidence score uses its Yes and No votes. A public figure's score pools those votes across all their promises. Unsure is shown in the results but excluded from the score. With no Yes or No votes, the score is N/A.
A simple example: With 6 Yes, 4 No, and 2 Unsure votes, confidence is 60%: 6 ÷ 10. The result bars include all 12 votes, so the Yes bar shows 50%. Support and Oppose votes never enter this calculation.
Community confidence, open to change: These scores reflect participating visitors' opinions, not verified delivery or a representative poll. Votes stay open. Read the sources and update your answer as your view changes. Check the vote count alongside the percentage: a score based on a few votes can change quickly.
