LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -LA28 Chairman Casey Wasserman on Friday defended President Donald Trump's controversial decision to name himself head of a White House task force for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, saying it reflected the federal government's commitment to the Games.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced the formation of a 2028 Olympics task force. But every piece of LA28 news raises more questions than it answers.

At the White House, President Donald Trump said he would send the military back to Los Angeles if he so chose in order to protect the 2028 Olympic Games.
