President Donald Trump has established a task force to oversee the preparations for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, signing an executive order that aims to ensure the games are “safe, seamless, and historically successful.” In remarks made during the signing, Trump expressed excitement about the event, stating, “The LA Olympics is shaping up to be a wonderful moment for America,” according to The Hill and Le Monde.

Trump will chair the task force, which includes key administration figures such as Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, among others. It is responsible for coordination on security, transportation, and visa processing for athletes and officials. This initiative follows Trump's recent engagement in sports, reflecting his commitment toward major global sporting events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as highlighted by India Times and Dawn.

During the announcement, Trump received Olympic medals from the 1984 Los Angeles Games, jokingly stating, “Can I say that I won them athletically?” This ceremony highlighted his enthusiastic approach to the upcoming games, as Casey Wasserman of the LA28 organizing committee praised the task force as a significant step in planning for the Olympics. Wasserman noted, “We wouldn’t be here without you,” acknowledging the Trump administration's support, according to India Times and Le Monde.

Trump's remarks included a controversial statement regarding transgender women in sports, emphasizing that “The United States will not let men steal trophies from women at the 2028 Olympics.” His comments reflect ongoing political contentions with local officials in Los Angeles, particularly regarding immigration and safety issues, as described by The Hill and Dawn.
