According to Italian media reports, US President Donald Trump may attend the Olympics in Italy this Sunday, but only if the US men's hockey team advances to the final match. As preparations for a potential visit are underway, local police and authorities in Milan are gearing up for the possibility of hosting the president, but this plan has yet to be confirmed by the White House.

Trump's brief visit is suggested to include attending the men's hockey final in Milan followed by the closing ceremony in Verona later the same day. The anticipation builds as the US men's hockey team is set to play the last-eight game on Wednesday against the winner of Tuesday's match between Sweden and Latvia, making their progress crucial for Trump's potential visit.

In a related note, Vice President JD Vance attended the opening ceremony of the Olympics and faced a mixed reception from the crowd. This adds an interesting political backdrop to the Olympic events, highlighting the intersection of sports and politics as the US aims to show its support for its athletes while managing heightened expectations due to Trump's potential involvement in the games.
