President Trump congratulates Team USA’s 120 Olympic and Paralympic Winter athletes at White House reception

President Donald Trump held a White House reception on Thursday to congratulate 120 U.S. athletes who competed for Team USA in the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Italy, according to The Washington Times.

The report said the gathering recognized athletes across Olympic and Paralympic disciplines and framed the event as a formal acknowledgment by the President of the athletes’ participation at the international competition.

The Washington Times reported that Trump praised the athletes during the event, part of a broader pattern of White House honors for Americans who represent the country in major national and international settings, the outlet said.

No White House posting or Federal Register publication was identified in the material provided to confirm details beyond the reported reception and congratulations, including whether there was an accompanying official transcript, remarks text, or specific program agenda published by the White House.

The event’s timing, as described by the outlet, comes shortly after the summer period when the administration and White House offices typically schedule ceremonial remarks and recognitions during the work week, but the record provided does not include an official schedule for this specific program.

As of now, the available information does not specify which sports or events the 120 athletes represented, nor does it include direct quotations from the President or organizers in the provided packet.

The White House and Team USA materials could, if published, clarify the roster breakdown by sport, the format of the event, and any official remarks text, as well as whether the reception involved additional federal agencies or White House offices beyond the President’s appearance.
