President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order to create a White House Olympics task force for security purposes and other issues ahead of the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. 

The task force is to be made up of members of Trump’s cabinet as well as government agencies, an administration official told Reuters.

One of the task force’s top priorities will be coordinating federal, state and local government work on transportation. They will also "streamline visa processing and credentialing for foreign athletes, coaches, officials, and media," per an email to Reuters.

"During his first term, President Trump was instrumental in securing America’s bid to host the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Monday. "The president considers it a great honor to oversee this global sporting spectacle in his second term."

LA28 chair and president Casey Wasserman said the task force "marks an important step forward in our planning efforts and reflects our shared commitment to delivering not just the biggest, but the greatest Games the world has ever seen in the summer of 2028."
