US Deploys F-16s and Snipers for World Cup Final Security Due to Trump Attendance
According to a report by The Telegraph, security for the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium has been upgraded to the highest US level (Level 1) following confirmation that former President Donald Trump will attend. Measures include F-16 fighter jets, military snipers on the stadium roof, a strict no-fly zone, and thousands of FBI agents on standby. Andrew Giuliani, Executive Director of the White House FIFA Task Force, stated the operation's scale surpasses the Super Bowl and is comparable to a State of the Union address. The security buildup was prompted by an April gunman incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and supported by a $625 million federal appropriation. During the final, NORAD intercepted a civilian aircraft violating flight restrictions, and the FBI seized hundreds of unauthorized drones. Fans were advised to arrive four hours early due to expected traffic delays caused by Secret Service cordons.
