Trump on Olympics BOO-gate: Vance "gets booed in foreign countries, but not in this country, because people like him" [View all]

“There is the vice president JD Vance and his wife Usha — oops, those are not — those are a lot of boos for him,” the commentator said. “Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

The brief moment highlighted the deep unpopularity of the Trump administration on the international stage. Olympians from the United States and other countries have spoken out against the administration’s harsh immigration enforcement operations that have killed two U.S. citizens in the same city— some more pointedly than others.

Asked about Vance being booed at the opening ceremony, President Donald Trump, who has alienated European allies with his threats to take over Greenland, told a reporter he was not aware of it.

“It’s surprising, because people like him,” Trump said. “Well, I mean, he is in a foreign country in all fairness, but he doesn’t get booed in this country.”
