SEATTLE — King County Executive Services confirmed to KIRO 7 that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are not coming to Seattle for Monday’s World Cup match at Seattle Stadium.

The match is between Team USA and Belgium at 5 p.m.

This comes after days of rumors circling that the President may come to Western Washington for the match after a potential airspace hold was filed at Paine Field.

Neither Trump nor Vance has publicly attended any of the World Cup matches so far.

This is a developing story. As we learn more, we will update this article.
