The U.S. Olympic Committee said the U.S. government will work with it “to ensure that athletes and officials from all countries will have expedited access to the United States in order to participate in international athletic competitions.”
The USOC issued a statement Monday after “a number of inquiries about the executive order regarding immigration that was issued by President Trump on Friday.”
“Like the United States, the Olympic Movement was founded based upon notions of diversity and inclusion, of opportunity and overcoming adversity,” the statement read. “As the steward of the Olympic Movement in the United States, we embrace those values.
