Since Donald Trump’s return to the White House last year, the US has fallen into a tourism trough. His on-again, off-again tariffs, toughened borders and visa policies, agents dispatched to American cities and deployments of troops abroad have made the country a far less inviting destination for global travelers. As would-be overseas visitors went elsewhere or simply stayed home, the US tourism industry lost out on as much as $16.6 billion in 2025 and is headed for an additional $21 billion deficit this year — what it might have earned if it had maintained its pre-Trump market share — researcher Tourism Economics estimates. “Travelers have choices,” says Aran Ryan, a director at the firm.. “Trump administration policies and pronouncements are the primary contributor in the US decline that we’re experiencing.”

AI OverviewProjections indicated that the tournament would attract nearly 10 million visitors across host cities. Of this demographic, FIFA initially estimated that about 40% of attendees would be international tourists, with roughly 1.24 million international arrivals. Overall, stadium attendance broke records, notching 6,810,966 fans.

You'll figure it out, Princess.

While Spammy spams...

Alongside Infantino, Trump presented the runner-up and winners’ medals to Argentina and Spain players, respectively. Nothing unusual here, given he is the head of state of the predominant host country. 


Yet one notable moment came when Argentina defender Cristian Romero, who plays his club football for Tottenham, walked past the US president and did not shake his hand. 

Romero did not acknowledge Trump after receiving his medal from Infantino, but he did shake the hands of Sheinbaum and Carney.

Food and Portions: The quality and scale of American food have left a lasting impression. Visitors frequently marvel at the generous portion sizes, chain restaurants (such as Raising Cane's and Waffle House), and local experiences like Kansas City-style barbecue.

Following the conclusion of the expanded 48-team tournament, FIFA shattered its initial $11 billion and $13 billion projections. A massive surge in secondary ticket market resales and premium hospitality packages fueled this unexpected growth.
