Donald Trump Reportedly Plans to Support Los Angeles' 2024 Summer Olympics Bid

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly expressed support for Los Angeles' 2024 Summer Olympics bid Wednesday in a call with Mayor Eric Garcetti, according to Richie Duchon of NBC News.

"They had a productive conversation about ways to expand infrastructure investments and opportunities in communities across America," the mayor's office spokeswoman, Connie Llanos, said in a statement, per Duchon. "And the mayor stressed the important role that immigrants and immigration reform will play in L.A.'s—and the nation's—long-term success." 

Los Angeles is among one of three cities that are still bidding for the 2024 Olympics, along with Paris and Budapest, Hungary.

There were questions about whether Trump would back L.A.'s bid due its "sanctuary city" status. According to Duchon, "Garcetti in 2014 ordered Los Angeles police not to grant U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's standing request to detain immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally."

Trump, meanwhile, threatened to cut off federal funding to any sanctuary cities during his presidential campaign. A major part of his platform was a hard-line immigration policy that included his desire to build a wall between the United States and Mexico and the consideration of a Muslim registry, among other controversial stances.
