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.

@oldguy73 Very funny. I see you've descended to blatant abuse.

@oldguy73 Thats because you're an American and despite all this anger and stuff driving support for Donald Trump, you're actually living the dream. I'm glad for you, but that dream won't last if you dont remain a free trading nation.

@Captain Free trade fucks everything up, fair trade is what's needed.

@NativePortlander1970 Fair trade is what is needed - but free trade is what grows wealth for all. Fair trade is not bullying Europe into not trading with China. Where does the world cup fit into this argument -it doesn't. Where does Trump using the world cup as a means to get Russia to stop its illegal invasion of Ukraine - well its a better idea than anyone else has at the moment. What have all the rednecks on here been ranintg about - tariffs, not the issue of Russia and not the issue of America bullying the rest of the world into not traidng with China.

@Captain all kidding aside, you might be right, but in my case, i seriously don't really care, i'm 74, and life expectancy for males is 77 years old, so, i just live do what i want, because it can'effect my life, so excuse me, if i continue to support my king. lol

@oldguy73 Thats freedom. no worries.

@kodiac If that was the case, how come America was telling them not to trade with China. You're wrong. America is trying to bully Europe to buy form them and no one else but sell to everyione else and not to the US.

@kodiac And anyway what has this delibearte bullyuing of Europe to weaken China and Europe and Strengthen AAmerica got to do with Trump using the world come as a carrot to end the war in the Ukraine - absolutely nothing. Yiu guys just rattle on about Truymp and tariffs because yiu think your on a winner when Adam Smith showed over 100 years ago why they are a bad idea for everyoine, when the issue here is Donald Trump is trying to use the world cup to stop the Ukraine war, Your obsessed with trying to protect Donald Trumps image because you know its widely accepted to be a terrible decision over tariffs - for the world - that he has made, and its not even the subject of the thread.,

@Captain I'm not allowed to respond namaste
