The recent proclamation by President Donald Trump banning citizens of some countries from entering the US as part of his enhanced crackdown on immigration, would prevent citizens, especially fans, from those nations from attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by the United States, alongside Canada.

Countries affected by the ban are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela have been put on the partial ban list.

According to Trump’s proclamation- “We cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen. That is why today I am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries.”

However, the executive order has a clause allowing any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, to travel for the World Cup, Olympics, or other major sporting event as determined by the Secretary of State.

Of the countries in Trump’s list, Iran has already qualified for the World Cup.

Fight with Trump: Elon Musk suffers $34 billion loss in one day

Elon Musk suffered a staggering $34 billion drop in his net worth on Thursday, June 5, marking one of the most significant single-day losses in his personal fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

The plunge came after a volatile exchange with former President Donald Trump, fueled by a series of controversial tweets from the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.

Musk had posted claims linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein and hinted that Trump played a major role in securing the 2024 presidential victory. The accusations sparked immediate backlash from Trump, who retaliated by threatening to revoke federal contracts with Musk’s companies.

He also warned of removing the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit—introduced under President Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act—which has been a significant financial incentive for Tesla customers, offering up to $7,500 off EV purchases.

In a sharp response to Trump’s threat, Musk declared he would decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft.

“This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in response to Business Insider’s inquiry regarding Musk’s Epstein-related tweet.

“The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again.”

The fallout sent Tesla shares tumbling more than 14%, resulting in an estimated $138 billion loss in market capitalization. Bloomberg estimates that $34 billion of that decline came directly from Musk’s personal holdings.

This isn’t the first time Musk’s tweets have had financial consequences. In November 2021, he ran a Twitter poll asking if he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock. Over 57% of 3.5 million participants voted “yes,” prompting a 16% drop in Tesla shares that week and wiping out $50 billion from Musk’s net worth.
