Haley: ‘Open Question’ If U.S. Athletes Will Compete at the Winter Olympics

“We will make sure that we’re taking every precaution possible to make sure that they're safe.”

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has raised concerns about whether American athletes will attend the 2018 Winter Olympics, calling the matter an “open question” in an interview Wednesday night. She said officials are worried that the increasingly volatile situation with North Korea may endanger Americans at the Olympics, which are set to take place in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in February. “What have we always said?” continued Haley. “We don’t ever fear anything, we live our lives. And certainly that is a perfect opportunity for all of them to go and do something they have worked so hard for. What we will do is, we will make sure that we’re taking every precaution possible to make sure that they’re safe and to know everything that's going on around them.”
