Trump appoints task force to ensure ‘safe, seamless’ LA Olympics

United States President Donald Trump established a task force on the 2028 Olympic Games being held in Los Angeles that he said would ensure the event is “safe, seamless and historically successful”.

The 2028 games will be the first Olympics to be hosted by the US since the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“The LA Olympics is shaping up to be a wonderful moment for America. It’s going to be incredible. It’s so exciting”, Trump said on Tuesday as he signed an executive order at the White House establishing the task force.

The White House did not immediately release the text of the order or details about the task force’s work.

At the event, Trump praised Gene Sykes, chair of the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) board of directors, for the USOPC’s move to effectively bar transgender women from competing in women’s sports.

“The United States will not let men steal trophies from women at the 2028 Olympics”, Trump said.

He questioned why he did not hear applause from the room when he praised Sykes for this, and then received some claps from some people in the room.

Trump “considers it a great honour to oversee this global sporting spectacle”, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, calling sport one of the president’s “greatest passions”.

LA28 president and chair 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”.

During a briefing Tuesday afternoon, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the task force would “coordinate across federal, state and local agencies to ensure streamlined visa processes, robust security and efficient transportation”.

Members of the task force include Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, among others, Trump announced Tuesday.

Along with the 2028 games, Trump has said that the 2026 FIFA World Cup, being hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico, is among the events he is most looking forward to in his second term.

UN says nearly 60,000 displaced by heavy fighting in northern Mozambique

According to a UN report, nearly 60 000 people have reportedly fled Mozambique’s northern Cabo Delgado province in two weeks as a result of a long-running uprising by ISIL (ISIS).

In a statement released on Tuesday, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) claimed that 57, 034 people, or 13, 343 families, had been displaced as a result of the escalating attacks that started on July 20.

More than 42, 000 people were forced to live in Chire, with the majority of them children, according to the IOM, making it the hardest-hit area.

According to Paola Emerson, the head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), “a total of 30 000 displaced people have received food, water, shelter, and essential household items.”

In the upcoming days, OCHA, according to Emerson, will increase its assistance. In light of the United States and other nations’ cuts to international aid, she said, “The response, however, is not yet at the scale required to meet growing needs.”

She continued, “Life-saving aid is being reduced due to funding cuts.” Only 19% of the pledges have been made so far for the UN’s 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan for Mozambique.

The organization added that involuntary relocations, as well as the lack of safety and documentation, were contributing to the protection risks.

The Southern African country has been fighting a rebellion in the north for at least eight years against a group known as al-Shabab, &nbsp, despite having no connections to the Somali fighters of the same name. Mozambique is being helped by Rwandan soldiers.

According to conflict tracking service ACLED, more than 6 100 people have died since the start of the insurrection, including 364 last year, according to data from the Africa Centre for Strategic Studies.

The French company Total Energies suspended operations in Cabo Delgado in 2021 because of its significant offshore natural gas reserves. The $ 20 billion gas project will be re-ignited this summer, according to the French fossil fuel giant.

Therefore, it is not punishment when God allows everything to strike you at once. It is a mass exit from alignments that have expired. Even though they were once blessings, He allows the collapse of things that were allegedly limiting you.
