US President Donald Trump says the opportunity for Russia to play at the 2026 World Cup could be an "incentive" to end the war in Ukraine.

And lets face it - 90% of republicans dont care if he does if it means they can get richer from it. When the worlds leading nation starts ignoring the rest of the world and becomes self indulgent, the worlds second largest nation will take over the role of world leadership. America has been headed down an isolationist route ever since Obama and yet when China grew its influence in Europe, the US started bullying Europe into ignoring China. Now the US is being anti European - what choice will Europe have but to re-embrace China and the other emerging giants. Adam Smith - the wealth of nations - Europe still recognises it needs to trade even if Trump is building a "fortress America". Shades of 1928 all over again - because the lessons have been forgotten.
