JD Vance jokes about deporting tourists attending 2026 World Cup
The vice president warned people attending the five-week tournament next year not to overstay their welcome, or there would be consequences.
JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.
It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.
Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach — and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.

At this rate, they'll deport the players. Is it too late to move the 2026 world cup?
I can 100% guarantee at least one athlete is going to be refused entry.
World cup includes tiny nations with players that are closer to your local plumber who plays on the weekends than to Christiano Ronaldo flying in on a private jet. Think Trinidad&Tobago and etc. Would definitely not be surprised when some of them get deported when stepping out of their regular flights.
I expect to see star players deported right before matches against the US team.
