Minister says there is ‘no desire’ to boycott tournament
But Coquerel says US should be stripped of World Cup
The French government is not in favour of boycotting this year’s World Cup being co-hosted by the United States over Donald Trump’s Greenland threats, France’s sports minister has said.
Trump has targeted France among the eight European countries threatened with tariffs for their opposition to his drive to annex Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.
That prompted a senior far-left French politician, Éric Coquerel, to say the US should be stripped of co-hosting the World Cup, which it is sharing with Canada and Mexico.
