Aug. 5 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump will lead a new high-level task force that will direct federal resources toward preparing for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Trump on Tuesday announced the creation of the task force that will include Cabinet secretaries and other senior administration officials he said will mobilize "the entire federal government to ensure the games are safe, seamless and historically successful."
The task force, created by an executive order, will coordinate the federal government's security, transportation and "entry/exit" functions for the games that are expected to draw millions of people over the course of roughly two weeks to Los Angeles in July 2028. Trump and Vice President JD Vance will serve as the respective chair and vice chair of the task force with a forthcoming executive director who will oversee its day-to-day operations.
"I think it's going to be amazing," said Trump. "America is a nation of champions, and in July 2028 we'll show the world what America does best, and that's when we're winning like we have never won before."
