Who’s who from the Trump administration
Ali Walker
While President Donald Trump himself hasn’t attended a game yet during the World Cup, the rest of his administration has turned out in force at all three U.S. games so far.
Lee Zeldin, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, is at the game in Inglewood. Zeldin has clashed with California officials over issues ranging from endangered species protections to clean-air rules, while also bidding to address Mexico-California cross-border sewage pollution.
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who has at times served as a conduit between the White House and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the fraught attempt by the U.S. to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, is also in attendance at SoFi Stadium. Driscoll, who is close to Vice President JD Vance, has previously been referred to by Trump as his “drone guy.”
Also in LA tonight: Richard Grenell, who was Trump’s combative envoy to Germany during the president’s first term.
Grenell, who allies pushed for a top job in the second Trump administration, ultimately missed out on a Cabinet-level role, instead being appointed special presidential envoy for special missions of the United States.
