US EditionUS Vice President Vance greeted in Milan on eve of Games opening
VP JD Vance leads U.S. delegation at Winter Olympics and aims to advance a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan brokered by the White House last year.
- Vice President JD Vance arrived in Milan, Italy on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2026, with his family to lead President Donald Trump's delegation to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics on the first stop of a weeklong trip.
- The White House-brokered peace agreement aims to end four decades of conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, reopening transport routes and boosting U.S. cooperation as Russia's influence declines.
- Arriving at Malpensa Airport, Vice President JD Vance wore a blue zip-up jacket with a U.S. flag and was greeted by U.S. Ambassador Tilman Fertitta while Usha Vance wore a white fleece with the Stars and Stripes and Olympic rings.
- On Friday, Vance will lead the U.S. delegation at the opening ceremony with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Tilman Fertitta, while ICE's Homeland Security Investigations backs up the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service amid concerns spectators could boo Americans.
- Vance's mission reflects a pattern — after Israel — of using vice-presidential travel to advance peace efforts, and this weeklong trip may be one of only a few international trips Vance makes this year.
