The president of the Olympics has stated that he is not in contact with Trump amidst the threat of wildfires to the 2028 LA Games.

Thomas Bach, IOC President, states that he is not in contact with President-elect Trump prior to his departure from office later this year.

Bach congratulated Trump on his election victory in November and has not sought any further communication since then.

Bach believes it would not be fair or right for him to contact Trump again and potentially influence his successor's decisions.

In June, Bach will depart from his role as IOC president, with an election taking place in March.

The ongoing Los Angeles wildfires have cast uncertainty on the viability of Los Angeles hosting the 2028 Summer Olympics, which coincides with Bach's lack of communication with Trump.

The 2028 Games, which were to be the first in history without new venue construction due to the number of stadiums and arenas in Los Angeles, have been impacted by fires that have decimated many of the areas where those venues are located.

The Riviera Country Club, Olympic Village, Pauley Pavilion, and Rose Bowl Stadium are Olympic venues located near fire-affected areas.

Casey Wasserman, the LA2028 Chairman, stated in a confident manner that Los Angeles would recover from the wildfires and not let it affect the Olympics.

"Wasserman stated that Los Angeles is characterized by its resilience and determination. The city's strong communities and unity in difficult times make it exceptional, and when Los Angeles hosts the world in 2028, its spirit will be brighter than ever."

Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, informed NBC News that the state is preparing a "Marshall plan" to ensure the Olympics can take place in Los Angeles in 2028.

"President Trump was instrumental in bringing the Olympics to the United States, specifically in Los Angeles. We appreciate his efforts. This is a chance for him to showcase his leadership, for the country to shine, for California and this community to thrive," Newsom stated.

"We're already organizing a Marshall plan because we have a team looking, reimagining LA 2.0, and we're ensuring everyone's inclusion."

The possibility of the city hosting the Olympics in the future, given the projected years of reconstruction, has been met with criticism from some.

In an interview with Newsmax, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, expressed his belief that the Olympics should be held in a city and state controlled by Republicans.

Jordan stated that the American people correctly recognize the poor management of the state and the mishandling of the fires by the governor and the mayor in Los Angeles.

Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator, has proposed relocating the 2028 Olympics from Los Angeles to either Dallas or Miami as the new host city.

"Kirk wrote on X that the Los Angeles Olympics should be canceled because if a city cannot fill a fire hydrant, it is not qualified to host the Olympics. He suggested moving the event to Dallas or Miami, where athletes can safely compete in a capable location."

In early December, Bach expressed confidence in Trump's ability to lead the organizing of the 2028 Olympics before the fires.

"Bach stated at a news conference following an International Olympic Committee executive board meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, that he was very confident in the steps and efforts being taken. He added that he had seen President-elect Trump's repeated support for the Games, which he had never doubted because Trump had declared his support from the beginning."

Trump is "very confident and relaxed" when working with Olympic leaders, according to Bach.

In June 2017, Trump and Bach met at the White House to discuss the possibility of Los Angeles hosting the Olympics. Trump has since claimed responsibility for securing the 2028 bid. Despite this, Bach did not express any positive feelings towards Trump following their initial encounter.

On a cellphone call in Washington, D.C., Bach was heard saying, "Pray for our world."

Trump will have to lead America's hosting of the Olympics after a disaster in the host city, without consulting the sitting IOC president until a new one is elected.
