President Donald Trump suggested the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo should be postponed for one year amid the coronavirus outbreak.
"I like that better than I like having empty stadiums all over the place," Trump said. "If you cancel it, do it a year later. That's a better alternative rather than having it with no crowd."
The decision to either cancel or postpone the Olympics rests with the International Olympic Committee. A final decision could be made by the end of May or early June.
Earlier this month, International Olympic Committee spokesperson Mark Adams fielded several questions regarding the status of the Tokyo Olympics.
