The IOC spoke about its attitude to Trump’s statements about US ambitions in Greenland
The head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Kirsty Coventry, said that the geopolitical ambitions of the United States are not the organization’s area of responsibility.
Previously, US President Donald Trump spoke about the need to take control of Greenland for strategic purposes.
— We always keep our finger on the pulse of world events. We know what is being discussed in the world of politics, what is happening. But we are a sports organization – this is not our area of responsibility for commenting. Our task is for all national Olympic committees to work together.
As for the USA: we have not had any negotiations with the White House. We have seen a formal statement from President Trump’s team. He announced who will represent him at the Games. And we are waiting for them in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
Negotiations with the organizers of the 2028 Games in Los Angeles are going well. And everyone is moving in the right direction, in a positive mood,” Coventry said during a conversation with reporters.
