Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says he has suggested postponing the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games by one year in order to protect athletes from COVID-19. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been reticent to discuss a postponement, but mounting global pressure seems to have the governing body reconsidering. Abe says the IOC agreed to a postponement, but no date has been set.
