President Trump attacked a skier representing the U.S. at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan Cortina, saying that it is too bad that Hunter Hess is on the team and that it was hard to support him, after Hess sought to distance himself from the Trump administration's policies.

President Trump said last year that he had asked Chinese leader Xi Jinping to free Lai. Trump is expected to meet Xi in China in April, and Lai's case could add another sticking point to negotiations between the world's two largest economies.
