According to reports from foreign media such as Fox News and the New York Post, after the United States took military action against Venezuela, there have been calls to ban the United States and its athletes from participating in the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. However, the International Olympic Committee has stated that they refuse to do so. American media reported that the International Olympic Committee has ruled out the possibility of imposing any punishment on the United States for this matter. In a statement to Fox News, the International Olympic Committee said, "As a global organization, the International Olympic Committee must deal with complex realities. We must address current political situations and the latest developments in the world." The statement also said, "The International Olympic Committee cannot directly intervene in the political affairs or conflicts between nations, as this is beyond our scope of authority. This falls under the realm of political affairs."
