The administration for President Joe Biden is expected to stage a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, according to CNN's Kaitlan Collins.
The action wouldn't constitute a full boycott, which would prohibit American athletes from competing in the quadrennial showcase. A diplomatic boycott would mean U.S. officials won't be in attendance to watch the events live and represent the country in China.
President Biden told reporters in November he was "considering" the step. Press secretary Jen Psaki added that discussions were ongoing as to how the administration might be represented.
