President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested that he would prevent blue cities from hosting the games of the FIFA World Cup if he felt they did not address safety concerns.

"If I feel there's unsafe conditions, I'd call the head of FIFA, and I'd say, 'lets move it.' And he would do that," Trump said during a press conference.

The World Cup tournament is set to take place in myriad American cities in 2026. Trump also suggested he could relocate the planned Los Angeles Olympic Games. 

Trump made the remarks amid an ongoing row between the administration and the leadership of major American cities, largely over their sanctuary policies and unwillingness to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
