US President Donald Trump announced that pro-Palestine protests will be permitted during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico, the Middle East Monitor news website reported.

The statement was made during a joint press conference with FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the White House on Wednesday.

When asked about the possibility of political demonstrations during the global tournament, Trump affirmed the right to protest, provided it remains orderly.

“I think people are allowed to protest. You have to do it in a reasonable manner — not necessarily friendly, but reasonable,” said the US president.

The announcement directly addresses growing speculation that pro-Palestine protests could occur during the tournament, especially amid rising global solidarity movements for Palestine and the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
