With the 2026 FIFA World Cup on American soil, President Biden’s proposed fiscal 2025 budget includes millions for the U.S. Secret Service to begin security preparations for the matches to come.

The release of the budget plan came Monday as the U.S. national debt continues to climb at a soaring pace. As of last week, the national debt, which measures what the U.S. owes its creditors, increased to $34,461,406,559,733, per the latest numbers published by the Treasury Department on March 8.

Within the budget was $2.9 billion being allocated to the Secret Service.

"Of this amount, the Budget includes $79 million for security related to the 2024 Presidential Campaign and inauguration and $16 million to begin security preparations for the 2026 World Cup." 

How exactly the $16 million will be spent was not disclosed, but security measures have changed since the last time the World Cup was in the States in 1994.
