00:00I'm delighted to welcome FIFA President Johnny Infantino back to the White House for a major announcement about one of the most anticipated competitions in all of sports, the 2026, and this is a big deal, I'll tell you, I was so happy to get it, the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
00:19And it's going to be the World Cup, as we know it, it's the biggest, probably the biggest event in sports, I guess, Johnny, right?
00:26On December 5th of this year, the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw will take place at the Kennedy Center, some people refer to it as the Trump Kennedy Center, but we're not prepared to do that quite yet, maybe in a week or so.
00:38But right here in Washington, D.C., it's a tremendous honor to bring the global event and this incredible group of people and these unbelievable athletes, the best athletes in the world, to the cultural center of our nation's capital.
00:51Excited to bring their family here to enjoy this event.
00:55America welcomes the world.
00:57Yes.
00:57And I can really, from the collaboration that we have, testify for that, absolutely.
01:02And I just sent a picture from somebody that wants to be there very badly.
01:06He's been very respectful of me and of our country, but not so respectful of others.
01:12But he'll, I'm going to sign this for him, but I was sent one and I thought you'd all like to see it.
01:19That's a man named Vladimir Putin, who I believe will be coming, depending on what happens.
01:25He may be coming and he may not, depending on what happens.
01:28We have a lot of things happening over the next couple of weeks.
01:31But I thought it was a nice picture of him.
01:35OK of me, but nice of him.
01:37So that was very nice that it was sent to me.
01:40OK.

01:40Thank you for that.
