The U.S. is expected to announce this week that its government officials will boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics, CNN reported last night (Sunday).
U.S. President Joe Biden said last month that he was considering a diplomatic boycott to protest China's treatment of human rights, which it said included genocide against Muslims and minorities. .
The Biden administration is expected to announce this week that no US government officials will attend the 2022 Beijing Olympics, implementing a diplomatic boycott of the games, according to several sources.

The White House declined to comment on CNN's report at this time.
Four credible sources said that recently government officials told Reuters that there was a growing consensus in the White House to keep U.S. officials away from the Beijing Olympics. However, the report said the U.S. boycott would not prevent its athletes from competing in the Games.
