JD Vance booed during Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan | OneFootball

The Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, was booed during an appearance on the big screen at the San Siro stadium in Milan, at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, a journalist from AFP observed this Friday.

The boos occurred during the parade of delegations, when the electronic scoreboard displayed Vance for a few seconds alongside his wife, Usha, waving United States flags.

The American athletes, on the other hand, were warmly received by the spectators present in the stands of the emblematic Milanese stadium, which has a capacity of 75,000 people.

A few hours before attending the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, JD Vance met with the Italian head of government, Giorgia Meloni, and both praised their “common values.”

In the afternoon, hundreds of high school and university students from Milan gathered to protest against the presence in Italy of ICE agents, the United States' anti-immigration police, as part of the security scheme for these Games.
