France does not support any boycott of the World Cup finals scheduled for this summer in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, despite political tensions with Washington over Greenland. Minister of Sports Marina Ferrari said on Tuesday. The minister added that 'the World Cup is a very important moment for sports fans' and that the Ministry of Sports does not want to involve politics in this global football event. Meanwhile, French far-left politician Eric Coquerel called for the United States to be stripped of its hosting rights for the tournament, citing threats from the US President to impose tariffs on European countries, including France, over their stance on Greenland.
