German Official Floats World Cup Boycott Talks Over Trump’s Policies
A German soccer federation executive committee member, Oke Göttlich, is advocating for a World Cup boycott due to actions by U.S. President Donald Trump, citing concerns about political tensions. These tensions stem from Trump’s actions related to Greenland and potential tariffs on European countries. Göttlich’s call for a boycott references past Olympic boycotts and emphasizes the importance of defending values. While the United States is co-hosting the event, there may be resistance to a boycott from other federation officials.
