Hundreds protested in Milan earlier on Friday against the US vice president’s visit and the presence of immigration enforcement agents in the American delegation.

MILAN: US vice president JD Vance was booed by some spectators at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan on Friday but the US team got loud cheers.

The boos came when Vance and his wife Usha were shown on a large screen at the San Siro stadium, both applauding and waving flags as the US athletes filed past in the ceremonial parade.

Some of the loudest applause during the parade was for the Ukraine team.
