To host an officially sanctioned fair, a country must belong to the Paris-based Bureau International des Expositions, or BIE. But the U.S. government left the 154-nation treaty organization, and rejoining would require federal legislation. An unauthorized expo could face a global boycott, as happened four decades ago in New York. I believe this would rekindle some of the hope in this country and also help the US image around the globe. It would also inspire art, and technology.
