“More than two dozen Senate and House Republicans are demanding the International Olympic Committee (IOC) align its policies with President Donald Trump’s executive order [banning trans women] on the Olympic stage, Fox News Digital has learned. Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Jim Risch, R-Idaho, and Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah, along with more than two dozen Republican lawmakers, penned a letter, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, to IOC President Thomas Bach Tuesday. Their letter comes just a week before the committee is scheduled to meet to elect its next president and discuss the upcoming 2028 Summer Olympic Games, which are set to take place in Los Angeles. … In February, during the signing ceremony, the president announced that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would prohibit any transgender athletes attempting to compete as women from entering the country for the Olympics in 2028.” (03/11/25)
