Trump will sign executive order on Olympics task force
President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order creating a federal task force to oversee the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The task force, led by Trump and composed of members from his cabinet, will focus on security and other key issues surrounding the Games [1][2][3].The task force's establishment comes as part of broader planning efforts for the 2028 Olympics, which will be hosted by Los Angeles. The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," signed into law last month, allocated $1 billion for security, planning, and other related costs [1][2].
Venues for the 2028 Games have been selected, with Dodger Stadium hosting baseball events and Anaheim's Angel Stadium hosting volleyball matches, among others [1][2]. Local leaders, including the Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom, are currently negotiating with LA28 over the use of police and traffic officers during the Olympics [1][2].
Casey Wasserman, Chairperson and President of LA28, expressed his appreciation for the task force's creation, stating that it marks an important step forward in planning efforts for the "greatest Games the world has ever seen" [1][2]. However, the potential for pushback from Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom remains unclear, as both have publicly opposed Trump's previous actions in the city [1][2].
The task force is expected to play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth execution of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and LA28 President and Chairman Casey Wasserman have provided official statements regarding the task force's formation [3].
