US President Donald Trump says he will go with Japan PM Shinzo Abe's decision on holding the Olympic Games. @realDonaldTrump tweeted: "We will be guided by the wishes of Prime Minister Abe of Japan, a great friend of the United States and a man who has done a magnificent job on the Olympic Venue, as to attending the Olympic Games in Japan. He will make the proper decision!"

The Indian Olympic Association will "follow strictly" whatever decision the International Olympic Committee is going to take regarding the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics, association's President Narinder Batra said on Monday.

"We will follow what IOC is saying and we will go by IOC's stand. Whatever will be IOC's decision, we will follow strictly. We are also in touch with the government, we are talking to everyone and our stand is what IOC's stand is. I am a member of IOC and I do not follow what Canada and Australia is saying, that's their issue. IOC is a responsible organisation, we know that," Batra told ANI.

Batra's statement comes after the Canadian Olympic Committee announced that they will not send their teams to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the summer of 2020.
