President Donald Trump will attend the FIFA World Cup Draw today at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the president sees next year’s sporting event as a “priority national project,” as the World Cup will occur simultaneously with celebrations of the United States’ 250th anniversary next summer.

President Trump has been involved in the planning of the World Cup, having established a task force back in March for the event, which will be held in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The president suggested swapping out American cities that are not cooperating with immigration and criminal law enforcement “if somebody is doing a bad job and if I feel there’s unsafe conditions.”

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

• For the Secret Service agents to be aware and vigilant as they protect President Trump and other dignitaries.
• For wisdom for President Trump as he engages in the World Cup planning.
• For the president and members of the task force as they seek to ensure the safety of the cities that will host the games next year.
