This initiative is led by chairman Mark Green and Vice Chairman Michael McCaul and follows an executive order from President Donald Trump to establish a White House Task Force in preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2026. McCaul will chair the task force, expected to be bipartisan, with further member announcements to come.<\/p>\n<p>This task force&#8217;s creation is especially timely, as the U.S. will host several important events, including the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, the FIFA world Cup in 2026, and the 2025 Ryder Cup, among others. McCaul emphasized the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/teenagers-convicted-for-hacking-grand-theft-auto-developer-and-uber\/\" title=\"Teenagers found guilty of hacking GTA developer and Uber.\">robust security measures<\/a> to protect both Americans and international visitors against potential threats that can arise during these high-profile occasions. The task force plans to conduct site visits, hold hearings, and publish a report regarding its findings to stay ahead of security challenges, learning from past incidents like the Boston Marathon bombing. The committee has also proposed budget allocations for the upcoming events to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/niger-severs-ties-with-us-military-orders-american-troops-out-of-territory\/\" title=\"Niger Ends US Military Partnership, Commands Withdrawal of American Forces\">bolster security efforts<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House committee to create task force to ensure safety at large events hosted by US<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2114128\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE<\/strong> <strong>&mdash;<\/strong>&nbsp;The House Committee on Homeland Security will announce a task force on Tuesday to ensure security oversight for major U.S. events over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) and Vice Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) are set to create the Task Force on Enhancing Security for Special Events in the United States.
