Trump is betting the house on sports but it’s a huge risk… here’s why it could backfire

He began his presidency by firing shots around the world. Soon, though, he’ll be hosting everyone on his own turf. Donald Trump, fresh off the trade wars that sent shockwaves across the planet, will be the sitting president during the 2026 World Cup, which the US (along with the neighbors he’s angered, Mexico and Canada) is set to host.

Hong Kong authorities have expressed confidence they can better handle extreme weather events in the coming decades as they outlined strategies and upgrades to infrastructure worth more than HK$300 million (US$38.3 million) that will bolster defences against heavy rainfall, rising sea levels and storm surges. In a paper released on Friday for a discussion scheduled at the Legislative Council on Tuesday, authorities said they had made significant investments in 26 vulnerable coastal areas, including in northwest Yuen Long, Sha Tau Kok Town, Shek O Village and South Horizons.
