White House expected to announce diplomatic boycott of Beijing Olympics this week

US President Joe Biden and his administration is expected to announce that no US government officials will be attending the 2022 Beijing Olympics

According to CNN, the US government will be implementing a diplomatic boycott of the 022 Beijing Olympics games, following weeks of blacklist talks.

The move would allow the US to send a message on the world stage to China without preventing US athletes from competing. The National Security Council, which has been privately discussing the boycott, declined to comment.

President Biden told reporters last month that he was weighing a diplomatic boycott as Democratic and Republican lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, advocated for one in protest of China’s human rights abuses.

A full boycott is not expected, meaning US athletes will still be allowed to compete. The last time the US fully boycotted the Olympics was in 1980 when former President Jimmy Carter was in office.

More to come.
