President Donald Trump said Thursday it would be "a shame if countries that we always support" lobbied against a joint North American bid to host the World Cup in 2026.

"Why should we be supporting these countries when they don’t support us (including at the United Nations)?" Trump wrote on TwitterBloomberg Terminal. He said that the U.S., along with Mexico and Canada, have "put together a STRONG bid."
