"We're in a world where for drama, for control, for pushing the boundaries ongoing threats are issued to individuals and communities who refuse to back down and comply or be obedient to a hateful agenda. We are going to continue to be who we are and that means, unfortunately, we are going to be in a conversation in a way that is targeting Boston's values, Wu added. Ten toes down for Boston."
"If somebody is doing a bad job, and if I feel there's unsafe conditions, I would call Gianni [Infantino] the head of Fifa, who's phenomenal, Trump replied. I would say: Let's move into another location' and they would do that. He wouldn't love to do it. But he would do it very easily. Trump also directly criticised Wu, saying: Their mayor is not good she's radical left, and they're taking over parts of Boston. That's a pretty big statement, right?"
Donald Trump threatened to ask FIFA president Gianni Infantino to relocate World Cup matches from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough over alleged unsafe conditions. Mayor Michelle Wu said contractual agreements prevent any single person from unilaterally removing matches and vowed to uphold Boston's values despite ongoing threats. Wu characterized the threats as political theater aimed at coercion and affirmed continued resistance. Trump criticized Wu as 'radical left' and referenced recent South Boston disturbances, including a police vehicle set on fire, as justification for relocation. Infantino has met Trump and appeared alongside him at an international summit.
