Olympics president says he is not communicating with Trump as wildfires threaten 2028 LA Games

International Olympics Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach says he is not communicating with President-elect Trump before leaving office later this year. 

Bach told DPA International News he congratulated Trump on the Republican's election victory in November but has not sought any other communication beyond that.

"I don't think it would be really fair or right, with regard to my successor, to seek contact again now and perhaps influence any decisions that are then incumbent on my successor," Bach said of not speaking to Trump.
