President Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Tuesday afternoon to establish a task force ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games.
The games will be held in Los Angeles, the first Olympics to be hosted in the U.S. since the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
Trump earlier this year signed another order to bar transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, fulfilling one of his campaign promises. Those individuals will also face exclusion from the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.
“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 a statement. “Sports is one of President Trump’s greatest passions, and his athletic expertise, combined with his unmatched hospitality experience will make these Olympic events the most exciting and memorable in history.”
The event is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. EDT.
