California Governor Gavin Newsom has criticised President Donald Trump and Vice-President J.D. Vance, arguing that their leadership has harmed the United States’ standing on the world stage, following an awkward moment at the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan, Italy.

According to reports from the event, U.S. athletes were met with warm applause as they entered the stadium, reflecting continued global admiration for American competitors. However, the mood shifted when Vice-President Vance and his wife appeared on the big screen, drawing loud boos from sections of the crowd.

Newsom seized on the incident as evidence of what he described as declining international goodwill toward U.S. political leadership. In a statement, he said the reaction was “deeply concerning” and suggested it reflected frustration abroad with Washington’s recent rhetoric and foreign policy posture. “Our athletes still inspire the world,” Newsom said, “but our politics are telling a different story.”

The White House downplayed the episode, with officials stressing that Olympic crowds can be unpredictable and insisting that the administration remains focused on advancing U.S. interests globally.

The incident has nonetheless reignited debate at home over America’s image overseas, highlighting a growing contrast between the reception of U.S. culture and sports and the perception of its political leaders.
