World Cup Boycott Urged Over Trump, North Korea Launches Missiles, and Other Global Developments

Several significant events unfolded across the globe on January 27, 2026, ranging from calls for a boycott of the FIFA World Cup in the United States to security concerns and natural disasters.

Former FIFA chief Sepp Blatter endorsed a proposed fan boycott of the 2026 World Cup matches in the United States, citing concerns over President Donald Trump's conduct and policies, according to Al Jazeera. Blatter voiced his support for the boycott in a post on X on Monday, adding his voice to a growing chorus of international football figures questioning the suitability of the U.S. as a host country.

Meanwhile, North Korea launched suspected ballistic missiles into the sea, according to reports from Seoul and Tokyo, Al Jazeera reported. The launches, which occurred on Tuesday, marked the second such event this month, following a volley of missiles fired on January 4 as South Korean President Lee Jae Myung began a state visit to China. The timing of the launches suggests a potential weapons test ahead of a major political congress in North Korea.

In Azerbaijan, authorities arrested three individuals allegedly planning an attack on an embassy in Baku, Al Jazeera reported. The State Security Service stated that the suspects conspired with members of the ISIL (ISIS) affiliate in Khorasan province (ISKP), an Afghan offshoot of the armed group. The suspects, born in 2000 and 2005, had obtained weapons and were apprehended on charges of preparing for terrorism based on religious grounds. An investigation is ongoing.

In the United States, former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding pleaded not guilty to charges of running an international drug trafficking ring and orchestrating multiple murders, Euronews reported. Wedding, a Canadian national also known as "El Jefe," "Giant," and "Public Enemy," made his first U.S. court appearance on Monday after being arrested in Mexico last week and extradited to California. U.S. authorities said the 44-year-old had been hiding in Mexico for over a decade. He is accused of moving cocaine between the United States and Canada and directing the killing of a federal witness in Colombia.

On the island of Sicily, more than 1,000 people were evacuated from the town of Niscemi following a significant landslide, Euronews reported. A four-kilometer section of cliff crumbled after heavy rain brought by Storm Harry. The landslide occurred on Sunday, but land continued to give way on Monday. Footage showed a narrow vertical section of cliff falling away, causing a building that had already been damaged to further collapse. Schools were closed as a precaution. No deaths or injuries were reported. According to the mayor of Niscemi, the area had been soaked by days of heavy rain.
