Vance, in Milan, says the Olympics are 'one of the few things' that unite Americans

MILAN (AP) — Vice President JD Vance is in Milan leading President Donald Trump’s delegation to the 2026 Winter Olympics.

He told a group of U.S. athletes that the games are “one of the few things that unites the entire country.” Vance, who said the trip is a highlight of his time as vice president, plans to watch the U.S. women’s hockey team take on the Czech Republic in a preliminary game on Thursday. After spending the weekend at the games, Vance plans stops in Armenia and Azerbaijan. It's a show of support for an agreement the two nations signed at the White House last year aimed at ending decades of conflict between them.
