JUST IN: USA Olympic Committee Accuses EU Authorities and Olympic Organizers of Failing to Provide Basic Athlete Support, Claims American Athletes Are Being Treated Unfairly Due to Rising EU–US Political Tensions amid Donald Trump’s Greenland ambitions

In a stunning escalation just days before key Olympic events, the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) has issued a formal complaint accusing EU authorities and Olympic organizers of failing to provide even basic logistical and welfare support for American athletes competing in Europe.

According to multiple sources within Team USA, athletes have faced delayed accommodations, restricted training access, and inconsistent medical assistance, while other national teams reportedly received full support and priority treatment. The USOC alleges that the breakdown in coordination is not coincidental — but politically motivated, tied to the growing diplomatic rift between Washington and Brussels over Donald Trump’s renewed push to purchase Greenland.
“Our athletes are here to compete — not to be caught in the crossfire of political tensions,” a senior USOC spokesperson said. “We expect fairness, safety, and professionalism. What we’ve seen instead is discrimination and neglect.”
Insiders claim that the tensions reached a boiling point after several EU officials allegedly blocked additional U.S. team flights and restricted access to Olympic facilities, citing “security and compliance concerns.” American officials view those explanations as thinly veiled political retaliation, as Trump’s latest Greenland proposal continues to strain U.S.–EU relations.
Reports also indicate that some U.S. athletes have been forced to arrange their own transportation and meals, prompting outrage among coaches and staff. Several nations, including Canada and Japan, have reportedly offered informal assistance to affected Americans.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has not yet released an official statement but confirmed it is reviewing the U.S. complaint. Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers from both parties are calling for immediate diplomatic engagement to ensure the safety and fair treatment of American competitors.
This latest controversy threatens to overshadow the games themselves — as sports, politics, and global power rivalries collide on one of the world’s biggest stages.
