Pool Report 9/More FIFA

VP Vance, who is serving as vice chairman of the FIFA task force (with Trump as chairman), joked about how he almost broke a college football trophy at the White House recently.

"I appreciate the president giving me a second chance," said Vance.

Noem said the US expects 2 million foreign visitors and that the games are an opportunity to create a friendlier world.

In a Q&A with reporters, Trump said there would be cooperation with Canada and Mexico on the games.

Trump said he "had a lot of fun" calling Justin Trudeau "governor" but that Mark Carney's election was "a good step up" for Canada.

The pool exited the East Room at 4:39 as Trump picked up a soccer ball and handed it to Bondi.
