Donald Trump is slated to sign an executive order later today that will create a White House task force to handle issues surrounding the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, according to a White House statement.
Reuters reported the task force will focus on security and transportation issues, while also working to "streamline visa processing and credentialing for foreign athletes, coaches, officials, and media." Those types of broad coordination efforts are common ahead of the Olympics and typically spearheaded by the federal government of the host nation.
It is unclear who will serve on the task force, though multiple news outlets reported Trump will oversee it. A ceremony to sign the executive order is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET.

"The President considers it a great honor to oversee this global sporting spectacle in his second term," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in the statement.
