There’s $1 billion in Trump’s tax bill for the LA Olympics in 2028. So how will that money be used?

Just a few lines in the nearly 1,000-page tax and spending cut bill signed into law on July 4 by President Donald Trump mean big money for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

There, among a list of State Homeland Security Grant Programs funded by the bill, is $1 billion “for security, planning, and other costs related to the 2028 Olympics,” just below $625 million for security at the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted by the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
