The International Olympic Committee has praised the creation of a US government task force to support the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, calling it vital for smooth operations and full participation.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the White House task force, which he will chair alongside Vice President JD Vance and key cabinet members. The group will focus on security, transportation, and visa processing for athletes, officials, and media, according to Xinhua.
In a statement, the IOC said the move reflects strong cooperation between the Organizing Committee and federal agencies, essential for delivering an inclusive and seamless Games. Los Angeles previously hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984; LA28 will be the first Summer Games in the US since Atlanta 1996.
