Trump praises JD Vance: US Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a powerful speech at the Munich Security Conference, warning that Europe's biggest threat comes from within. He accused EU leaders of stifling free speech under the guise of fighting "disinformation" and failing to uphold democratic values. President Donald Trump praised Vance’s remarks, calling them “brilliant.” Vance also criticized European leaders for ignoring their voters, citing the annulled Romanian election as an example. He reaffirmed that under Trump’s leadership, the US would defend free speech, regardless of political differences. The speech sparked backlash among European politicians.
