Mexican president accepts trump's world cup invite amid tensions

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has confirmed she will attend the World Cup final this Sunday, accepting a direct invitation from US President Donald Trump. The two leaders have been locked in verbal sparring for months over security and trade issues.

Sheinbaum's shift

Just last month, Sheinbaum declined an invitation to the tournament's opening match in Mexico City, instead giving her ticket to a young Indigenous woman. Tickets for the final are now listed for nearly $10,000, a stark contrast to the freebie she offered earlier.
