Buenos Aires, November 17 (NA) – President Javier Milei will participate in the 2026 World Cup draw alongside his US counterpart, Donald Trump, as confirmed by the Argentine News Agency with official sources. The event will take place on December 5. The head of state will watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 draw from the presidential box, accompanied by his Republican counterpart, Donald Trump. The venue is the National Symphony Orchestra hall, made available by Trump due to his close ties with FIFA President Gianni Infantino. This is another step in the rapprochement between the libertarian and the Republican, who have consolidated a strong ideological and personal bond. They are working together to sweep away populist governments and consolidate the right in the region. In this way, Milei will travel to the United States for the 15th time and could sign the trade agreement announced by the White House. This is a possibility that has not been confirmed by official channels. However, according to the Argentine News Agency, the president intends to make a new visit to do so. In this edition of the mega sporting event, the United States, Mexico, and Canada will be joint hosts. The draw will take place at 14:00 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, which has a concert hall with a capacity of 2,442 people.
