White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday that the U.S. was not discussing a boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, over alleged human rights abuses, but said U.S. officials were still having discussions with partners in the region. The comments came after a State Department spokesman indicated Tuesday that U.S. officials were discussing whether to skip the games as part of a boycott with allies.
