Trump’s Shadow Looms Over Milan Olympics as Geopolitics Intrude

The Milan Winter Olympics open amid geopolitical tensions fueled by Donald Trump’s stance toward European partners, U.S. security moves, and his combative diplomacy. While Washington aims to project the U.S. as a global sports leader and push a “Decade of Sport,” Trump’s rifts with Norway, Canada, France, and Denmark (and ICE security on the ground) risk turning the Games into a stage for political rivalry even as allies vow not to let politics ruin the competition.
