The President of the United States, Donald Trump, reacted with surprise to the boos directed at his vice president, JD Vance, during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan. Vance was booed when he appeared on the screen at the San Siro stadium, and the sound of the whistles was partially drowned out by the music being played.

Trump was asked by a journalist about the incident and responded that it is surprising, mentioning that Vance is usually well-regarded. Additionally, before the ceremony, Vance met with the head of the Italian government, Giorgia Meloni, with whom he discussed the common values they share.
