Trump to Directly Lead LA28 Olympics Task Force

News summary

President Trump is set to sign an executive order creating and directly leading a White House Olympics task force for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. This intergovernmental group will coordinate security, transportation, and streamline visa processing for foreign athletes, coaches, officials, and media across federal, state, and local agencies. Unlike previous practice, the president's hands-on leadership is highly unusual, as such task forces are usually helmed by law enforcement officials. The move has raised concerns about potential tensions with California and Los Angeles officials, reflecting ongoing political disagreements, particularly over immigration enforcement. LA28 organizers and Chairman Casey Wasserman have expressed strong support for the federal involvement, highlighting its importance for unified and ambitious Olympic preparations. The task force is part of wider efforts to ensure a safe and successful event.
