Trump Takes Control of 2028 LA Olympics | JQJO

President Trump signed an executive order establishing a White House task force, chaired by himself and Vice President Vance, to oversee the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This unprecedented level of presidential involvement raises concerns, especially given Trump's past deployment of military and National Guard forces to LA. While the federal government traditionally aids in security and logistics, Trump's active role may strain relations with Los Angeles officials who have clashed with his administration. The task force will handle federal coordination, including visa processing, raising concerns about potential impacts on international participation. LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman expressed support for Trump's involvement.
