Exploring the influence Donald Trump will exert on the 2026 Fifa men's World Cup and LA 2028 Olympics, with sports communications strategist John Zerafa.

John joins Leaders' Editorial Director James Emmett and Content Director David Cushnan for a tour of global geopolitics, starting at the White House where Trump this week hosted Fifa President Gianni Infantino. They discuss the implications of Trump's Presidency and policies on the upcoming Club World Cup, from visas to tariffs to how to handle those Oval Office encounters.

They also consider what might be in Kirsty Coventry's in-tray as she takes over the IOC Presidency, how the competition to host the 2036 summer Games is shaping up, where Saudi's sports strategy stands, China's first world snooker champion and Lego F1 cars.
