Expo: Application for 2035 World's Fair could fail due to Berlin administration and Trump
Berlin wanted to get in the running for the 2035 World's Fair. However, the application is stuck in Berlin's administration. Another major event could thus go to Trump.
Berlin's bid to host the 2035 Expo has been dealt a blow with US President Donald Trump expressing support for Miami's bid. Berlin had a concept for the Expo centered around climate neutrality and the UN's 17 sustainability goals, but the city's politicians have been slow to back the bid. Trump's announcement has put pressure on Berlin, with some seeing the Expo as a chance to present a positive vision for the future.
The bid's success is uncertain, with complications including the availability of a suitable venue and upcoming elections in Berlin.
