Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will attend this Sunday's World Cup final in New Jersey following an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is also expected to attend the event.
This will mark the first meeting between President Trump and President Sheinbaum since December, following months of verbal sparring and regional tensions regarding security and trade. The gathering presents an opportunity for a reset between the two leaders.
The World Cup is being hosted jointly by the three North American nations for the first time. The final will feature defending champions Argentina taking on Spain, with Spain's King Felipe VI also expected to be in attendance.
President Sheinbaum announced her attendance on X late Friday. While she will attend the final, she did not attend the opening match in Mexico City, where the national team defeated South Africa 2-0, instead giving her ticket to a young Indigenous woman.
