Some changes in tourism numbers should be visible from US ski resorts before then.

Go have a look at Vegas right now. It’s a ghost down. Tourism across the US is down to the tune of tens of billions.

Why would tourists want to come to a place they dislike?

I don’t go to UK anymore for example.

>Why would tourists want to come to a place they dislike?

Visit family.

That's not mentioning you can dislike the current administration without disliking other aspects of the US. The US is big and diverse.

It's not even about like or dislike. Some people dislike the UK, but I imagine that few feel threatened by the prospect of having to cross its border. It's an easier sell to make someone come to the country despite whatever they don't like to attend a big event. But with the US, who knows at this point? The system had been shaken up so much in the last year that there's no telling what's going to happen to any given entrant (especially someone from one of the "disfavored" countries), or what the rules are going to be like tomorrow. It's not preference, it's preference combined with fear.

All is ok now that Trump received the FIFA Peace Prize trophy and wearable medallion.

FIFA's comical attempt to bribe him with a bauble might be a lot about them trying to persuade him not to do this, among other things that will mean nobody will want to attend games.

Considering the amount of people who always go to the World Cup yet is skipping the US-specific events of 2026, I'm not sure it'll be so interesting after all. Will more or less be like how Las Vegas seems to be today, a former shadow of itself.
