President Donald Trump has signed an executive order establishing a task force to oversee the preparation and security aspects of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. This move follows his earlier reestablishment of a sports, fitness, and nutrition council, signaling his intent to play a prominent role in sports administration. The task force, which Trump will chair, is tasked with managing security and visa issues related to the Games. The initiative has drawn attention for potentially creating friction with local Democratic authorities, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who had been expected to have a role in the Olympics' organization. The task force includes notable Floridian figures such as Susie Wiles, Senator Marco Rubio, and former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. LA28 Chair Casey Wasserman has expressed that the Trump-led task force demonstrates strong federal government commitment to the 2028 Olympics. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti acknowledged Trump's expected presence but emphasized that the local organizing committee will ultimately run the Games. The creation of the task force comes amid broader federal immigration policies that could complicate entry for international visitors to the United States during the event.
