President Trump has raised concerns over the safety conditions in Boston, threatening to pull World Cup matches planned for the city. Citing recent violent street takeovers and criticizing the city’s mayor, Trump suggested that if crime does not decrease, not only could the World Cup be moved out of Boston, but the Olympic Games set for Los Angeles might also be in jeopardy. Although some city officials have responded with indifference, the threat poses a significant economic risk to the area as the decision ultimately lies with FIFA regarding the tournament sites.
