LA councilman recycles tired claim that world will boycott Olympics because of Trump

Angsty Los Angeles officials are worried that President Donald Trump will trigger boycotts of the 2028 Summer Olympics, insisting the city needs a “Plan B ” — despite there being no sign of any pushback to the international sporting event.

At a Monday meeting, City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson fretted that countries in Europe and elsewhere could refuse to compete because of Trump and alluded to “human rights ” concerns following the fatal shooting of a nurse in Minneapolis by federal agents.

“It’s hard to miss it. The situation with the national government in this country makes human rights an even more important question than it would ordinarily be, ” Harris-Dawson said, per a report in The Sports Examiner.

“I noticed at least three reports of countries discussing in a formal way – I mean, big countries like Germany, France – discussing boycotting FIFA [2026 World Cup], because of the actions of the U.S. around Greenland or whatever, so we have a national government who’s setting the stage for an environment where we can have a serious boycott, ” Harris-Dawson added.
