Planning and preparation for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has made “significant progress” and organizers say they're confident that President Donald Trump’s latest travel ban won’t prevent games participants from entering the U.

Reynold Hoover, chief executive officer of organizing committee LA28, said that exemptions to the ban allowed for a “wide-open Games.”
