US President Donald Trump ​will attend the World Cup final ‌between Argentina and Spain at the New York-New Jersey stadium on Sunday, White House press secretary ​Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday.

"We ​look forward to the final match ⁠on Sunday, and I know ​the president looks forward to attending," ​Leavitt told reporters at a press conference.

"His attendance will cap what has been the ​most watched, most secure, and ​most successful World Cup in American history."
