Donald Trump has stirred debate after a widely circulated remark attributed to him during the 2026 World Cup atmosphere, joking that he would run for the presidency of North Africa in order to win the tournament.
Media reports treated the comment more as an attention-grabbing quip than a serious statement, especially amid growing discussion over the performances of Arab and African teams at the competition.
No broad official verification of the quote had emerged by the time of writing, so the story remains in the realm of media buzz and public circulation across different platforms.
