President Donald Trump has signed an executive order establishing a task force to oversee the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. This initiative follows his earlier reestablishment of a sports, fitness, and nutrition council, underscoring his intent to play a prominent role in sports governance. The newly formed task force will focus on security and visa issues related to the Games, with Trump himself leading the group. LA28 Chair Casey Wasserman has stated that the Trump-led task force signals strong federal support and commitment to the 2028 Olympics. The move has generated some friction with local Democratic authorities, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who was previously involved in Olympic preparations. Trump's involvement in sports extends beyond the Olympics; he has also engaged politically in college sports matters such as name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights, athlete-employee status, transgender participation, and the Olympic athlete pipeline. However, some sports have been affected by his broader foreign policies, exemplified by the Venezuelan Little League travel ban. The task force creation is part of Trump's broader effort to position himself as a leading figure in American sports policy.
