Extra: How the U.S. is Protecting the World Cup

The World Cup has begun. From Atlanta to Seattle, Philly to Los Angeles... World Cup games will take place in eleven U-S cities through July nineteenth... as well as five other cities in Canada and Mexico. And preparing for potential security threats has been an expansive effort. More than a billion dollars has gone out to cities and states for security, transportation, and to help local law enforcement combat drone threats. While many of these decisions are coordinated across various agencies... the efforts are being led by a White House task force set up to manage World Cup logistics. On the eve of the World Cup’s first games… we spoke with the head of that task force, Andrew Giuliani. He broke down the months of planning and coordination required to secure the 78 matches taking place in America over the next several weeks. He discussed their efforts to protect the venues, the risks soft targets face, and the work and training that went into addressing the evolving threat of drones. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with the head of the White House World Cup Task Force, Andrew Giuliani. Learn more about your ad choices.
