A moment at the Olympics has sparked a political firestorm back home.
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office issued a sharp response after Vice President J.D. Vance was reportedly booed during the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan. The statement claimed that former President Donald Trump and Vance have damaged America’s standing globally, arguing that the country is now “booed and laughed at by the world.”
The reaction occurred during the February 6 Parade of Nations at San Siro Stadium. While Team USA athletes were met with cheers, reports from international broadcasters described audible boos when cameras showed Vice President Vance and his wife in attendance. Canadian broadcaster CBC referenced the crowd reaction during its live coverage, while NBC’s U.S. broadcast did not prominently air the moment.
The incident comes amid broader tensions between the Trump administration and several European allies over trade tariffs, diplomatic disputes, and security coordination around the Games. Critics argue the booing reflects strained international relations, while supporters dismiss it as isolated crowd behavior at a highly politicized global event.
President Trump later said he was unaware of the reported reaction.
The episode has reignited debate over how U.S. leadership is perceived abroad — and how much symbolic moments like this actually matter in global diplomacy.

A Filipina overseas worker, Mary Ann Velasquez De Vera, 32, from Pangasinan, lost her life in Israel amid rising unrest in the region.
She was reportedly helping her elderly patient reach a safety shelter when nearby strikes caused fatal injuries. Her husband, also an OFW, identified her remains.
Her passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the sacrifices many OFWs make to support their families — often working in challenging and high-risk conditions far from home.
