Rome, February 7 (Hibya) – According to reports by many international media outlets, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance was booed on Friday during the Olympic opening ceremony as the U.S. team was being introduced.
Ahead of the Olympic Games, extensive security measures were put in place around J.D. Vance, and he traveled to Milan with 14 aircraft and 300 security personnel.
Prior to the opening ceremony, protests were held in the city’s streets due to the presence of the U.S. leadership. International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry had previously called on spectators to show respect and refrain from booing.
