U.S. Vice President warns Germany on free speech and troops
Vice President of the USA, J.D. Vance, warns that America will not keep troops in Germany if that country does not ensure freedom of speech. During the CPAC conference in Washington, he argued that illegal immigration is the greatest threat to Europe.
At the CPAC conference of conservatives in Washington, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance expressed his concerns about illegal immigration, which he considers the greatest threat to Europe. Vance emphasised that "millions of unchecked illegal immigrants" pose a serious challenge to civilisation.
Vance noted that the future of U.S. relations with Europe would depend on shared values, such as "freedom of speech".
Vance highlighted that the American taxpayer funds Germany’s entire defence, with thousands of U.S. soldiers stationed there. He questioned whether taxpayers would continue to support this arrangement if individuals in Germany faced imprisonment for posting a malicious tweet, stressing that the U.S. military presence in the country is not without conditions.
Negotiations in Europe
In the context of ongoing negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, Vance assessed that the talks are in an early stage, but we are "on the brink of peace in Europe." He stressed that President Trump is ready to talk to all parties to achieve lasting peace.
Vance stated that his goal is to end the violence and establish lasting peace in Europe, adding that Trump is working to resolve conflicts globally.
Vance boasts about his Munich speech
Vance argued that his speech at the Munich Security Conference was positively received among European conservatives, many of whom attended the CPAC. In Munich, Vance criticised Brussels and key officials, which pleased anti-EU circles.
The speakers at the Washington edition of the conference included, among others, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, and Slovakian government head Robert Fico.
