JD Vance booed at Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan

Scattered boos rose at San Siro stadium in Milan when Vice President JD Vance appeared on large screens during the Winter Games opening ceremony, a moment that reflected anger over the Trump administration’s policies. Near the end of the Parade of Nations, the U.S.

delegation, wearing white Ralph Lauren coats, entered to cheers and whistles. The mood shifted when the broadcast cut from the athletes to the stands, showing Mr. Vance and his wife, Usha, waving small American flags; their brief appearance drew a smattering of jeers and boos that could be heard despite the ceremony’s loud music.

Mr. Vance arrived in Milan earlier in the week and attended U.S. events, including a women’s hockey game on Thursday and a figure skating team event on Friday.
