도널드 트럼프 당선인이 2028년 로스앤젤레스 올림픽 개최를 전폭 지지하겠다고 밝혔습니다. 일부 보수 인사들의 ‘보수 도시 이전’ 요구에도 불구하고 LA 개최를 고수하겠다는 입장을 분명히 한 것입니다.
Axios 보도에 따르면, 트럼프 당선인은 15일(현지시간) 마러라고에서 LA 올림픽 조직위원회 관계자들과 만나 “이는 미국의 올림픽”이라며 “그 어느 때보다 LA에 중요한 행사이며, 가능한 모든 방법으로 지원해 최고의 대회로 만들겠다”고 약속했습니다.
이는 최근 캘리포니아를 강타한 대규모 산불 사태로 일각에서 제기된 ‘올림픽 개최지 이전’ 주장을 일축한 것으로 해석됩니다.
앞서 일부 보수 인사들은 산불 대응 실패를 이유로 올림픽을 ‘보수 도시’로 옮겨야 한다고 주장했습니다. 뉴스맥스의 롭 피너티 앵커는 “제대로 운영될 수 있는 ‘레드 시티’로 옮겨야 한다”고 말했고, 찰리 커크 등 극우 논객들도 이에 가세했습니다.
트럼프 당선인은 산불 사태와 관련해 개빈 뉴섬 캘리포니아 주지사를 강하게 비판해왔지만, LA 올림픽 지지 입장은 변함없는 것으로 보입니다.
케이시 워서먼 LA28 위원장은 “트럼프 당선인의 지속적인 지원에 감사드린다”고 밝혔습니다[1][2].
