North Korea Pull Out of Tokyo Olympics

I would assume you are correct. I would think many nations will continue to pull out of the games. It’s only 3 and a half months away so obviously it’s too soon for everyone to participate the way they would like. Very sad to see but I do understand the caution right now.
