President Donald Trump will meet IOC President Thomas Bach for the first time on Thursday in Washington, D.C., to discuss Los Angeles’ 2024 Olympic bid, according to The New York Times.
The IOC is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, but Bach was in New York on Wednesday to announce the IOC’s new sponsorship deal with Intel.
Trump and Bach spoke by phone about LA 2024 in November, after Trump’s election.
Trump “expressed his strong support” for LA 2024 then, according to LA 2024. Trump later said he believed the IOC was “very happy” when it spoke with him about the bid.
