LA28 organizers confident Trump's latest travel ban won't affect Los Angeles Olympics
Briefly

The LA28 Olympic organizers report substantial advancements in planning for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and express strong belief that recent U.S. travel bans will not obstruct participation. LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman highlighted the federal government’s recognition of the Olympics' need for special consideration. Nicole Hoevertsz from the IOC also assured collaboration similar to past games. Following a three-day venue inspection, the IOC team reported confidence in the preparations for the opening scheduled for July 14, 2028, noting they are now in "delivery mode."
"It was very clear in the directive that the Olympics require special consideration and I actually want to thank the federal government for recognizing that," LA28 chairman and president Casey Wasserman said during a news conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
