Protesters gathered near a Vermont ski resort where Vice President JD Vance planned a vacation following a heated exchange in the Oval Office regarding Ukraine. Demonstrators held signs in support of Ukraine, Palestinian flags, and signs in support of immigrant rights. Some urged Vance to “Ski Russia” due to his alleged lack of friends in Vermont. Vance and his family arrived in Vermont for a ski trip at Sugarbush Resort, where a few protesters gathered peacefully. The resort declined further comment and referred reporters to the White House. Republican Governor Phil Scott issued a statement welcoming Vance to the state and urging Vermonters to be respectful, despite political differences. A smaller group of protesters in support of Vance and President Trump also showed up for a “welcome rally.” The protests were energized by the Oval Office exchange and drew attention to Vance’s alleged close ties to Russia. White House officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The demonstrations were planned in advance but gained momentum on Saturday. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press.
