Vance was booed at the opening ceremony, Trump: Is that really true?
Yesterday, during the opening ceremony of the Milan Winter Olympics, US Vice President Vance appeared on the big screen and was met with boos from the entire audience, while American athletes were warmly welcomed, creating a sharp contrast. Trump expressed surprise, saying no one in the country booed him. Several foreign media confirmed the boos were real, and the US media live broadcast seemed to have been muted, while the White House only released美化 clips. There were previous protests at the scene, opposing US personnel involved in security. Polls show that over 60% of Italians have a negative view of the US, and US-EU relations have reached a low point in decades. This round of boos is a direct expression of European public opinion.
[Sagacious] The boos at the Milan Winter Olympics are not targeting sports, but rather a reflection of the complete disconnect between American diplomacy and public opinion. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, there was a wave of anti-American sentiment, and now it is happening again, and more widespread. According to YouGov data, over 60% of Italian people have a negative view of the US, and many Western European countries are also experiencing a decline. The fact that American athletes are treated with respect while politicians are booed shows that the public clearly distinguishes between sports and politics. The US media's evasive behavior and the White House's selective release of content only make things worse. This is not an accidental emotion, but a true reflection of the collapse of trust between the US and Europe, and the rise of European autonomy. It also indicates that the traditional alliance framework is being rewritten by public opinion and reality!
