U.S. President Donald Trump has “done everything†to support the Los Angeles bid to host the 2024 Olympic Games, bid chief Casey Wasserman told reporters, including holding a lengthy phone call with Olympic chief Thomas Bach.
Trump, the New York-based tycoon and former celebrity reality show host-turned politician, has been all the West Coast city could hope for, Wasserman said.
“Donald Trump has done everything we could have asked to support our bid,†entertainment executive Wasserman told a small group of reporters at his seventh-floor offices in central London.
“Every letter, every phone call … to President Bach… support of our bid generally … in my role, from what we need from the federal government, he’s been all I would hope for.â€
Wasserman did not reveal the details of Trump’s call to Bach, only to say it had lasted a good while.
