LOS ANGELES, Jan 28 (Reuters) - ‌Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said she would continue telling potential travellers they ‌were welcome in the city for this year's FIFA World Cup but added ‌that those reassurances needed to be echoed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

Bass's comments came amid questions about whether concerns over U.S. immigration enforcement could lead to international fans avoiding the tournament, which will include eight matches ‍in Los Angeles in June and July.
