Hawzah News Agency- US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio led the American delegation.
As Vance appeared on the stadium’s big screen, waving the US flag, the crowd responded with jeers, according to live coverage of the event.
There is the Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha. Oops -- those are a lot of boos for him, an announcer was heard saying during the broadcast.
The reaction followed days of tension surrounding the participation of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Olympic security.
“They’re not welcome in Milan'', said Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala in a radio interview, calling ICE a “militia that kills''.
The Israeli delegation, which included nine Olympians and one Paralympian, also faced a “smattering of boos” as they entered the stadium.
More than 800 athletes have been killed in Gaza since the start of Israel's offensive on Oct. 7, 2023, as the sports community continues to suffer under bombardment, famine, and the collapse of infrastructure, according to Palestinian officials.
