(AP) — The president announced he’s pitching Miami for the next Expo and putting Secretary of State Marco Rubio in charge of securing the bid.

“The Great State of Florida has expressed strong interest in hosting the Expo in Miami, which I fully support,” Trump said in a social media post as he makes his back to Washington from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “Miami Expo 2035 can be the next big milestone in our new Golden Age of America.”

The World Expo has a storied history of bringing together nations to showcase technological innovations and cultural achievements. Since the inaugural event in 1851, Expos have been platforms for introducing groundbreaking inventions such as the light bulb, the Ferris wheel and the Eiffel Tower itself, which was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle.

The events have also served as opportunities for host cities to catalyze economic growth and global recognition.

Osaka, Japan, hosted the last one in 2025, and Saudi Arabia’s capital of Riyadh is slated to hold Expo 2030.
