U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that he may seek to relocate the 2028 Summer Olympics from Los Angeles if security concerns arise or if the city’s preparations for the Games prove inadequate. He stated that, if necessary, he would pursue approval from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to make such a move..
Speaking at a press conference in Washington, Trump expressed concern about the situation in California, particularly in light of the large-scale wildfires affecting the region. He also criticized Governor Gavin Newsom, accusing him of failing to effectively address the crisis.
“If he doesn’t cooperate, we’ll have to take tough action,” Trump said.
The President added that he is prepared to engage directly with IOC President Kirsty Coventry to discuss the matter. Trump acknowledged that relocating the Olympics would require international coordination, but insisted that decisive action would be taken if the safety of the Games were at risk.
