President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday creating a task force to oversee the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and he’s putting himself in charge of it.
The task force will coordinate federal planning for transportation, security and visa processing for the 2028 games. Mr. Trump said he’s directing agencies like the State Department and Justice Department to “use every tool at their disposal to ensure a fantastic, safe and beautiful event.”
The president will personally chair the task force — in line with a similar Trump-led task force to oversee preparations for the 2026 World Cup — and Vice President JD Vance will serve as its vice chair. Other members include Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
In response to questions from reporters, the president said Tuesday, “we’ll do anything necessary to keep the Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military.”
LA should just bow out, cancel the whole thing. Not worth it.
Haha that’d be hilarious…
…please please please.
Would be funny if it ended up being hosted in some shitty red state.
Oh man let it be Texas with their practically no building codes and already ridiculously poor public transit (in spite of tons of railways and massive, albeit quite stunning, urban highways).
Would love to watch a bunch shoddy rushed lowest-bidder stadiums on live TV. Do it.
The Olympic committee decides the host country and city around a decade in advance.
I was part of the marketing team that set up the website for LA’s petition back in 2018.
Excuse me. This is America. We like to change our minds after it’s too late.
SLC again?
remember what happened to the homeless last time there was an olympics in LA?
This should be interesting.
