US Vice President JD Vance has slammed Germany’s free speech laws, linking them to the US military presence in the country. Speaking at CPAC, he questioned why American taxpayers should support Germany if its citizens could be jailed for online speech. Vance also accused European leaders of fearing their people and stifling dissent. His remarks follow a CBS report on Germany’s hate speech laws, which he claims threaten European-American relations. German officials, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz, dismissed his criticism, defending Germany’s regulations on Nazi symbols and hate speech.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has made provocative statements regarding the ongoing Ukraine conflict, urging for a shift in diplomatic approaches. Lavrov emphasized that peace efforts should not be seen as a "zero-sum game," but rather as a process of listening to both sides and seeking common ground. In a direct response to European Union and NATO leaders, he criticized their vehement opposition to US-Russia talks, calling their reaction “unhealthy” and detrimental to peace efforts. Lavrov also condemned NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg for instructing Ukrainian President Zelensky not to make any concessions to Russia, accusing him of "abusing his position." Lavrov’s remarks highlight the growing divide between Russia and Western powers, as both sides remain entrenched in their positions.

Trump Putin Call has sent shockwaves across Europe, raising concerns over the future of NATO, Ukraine, and EU security. French President Emmanuel Macron reacted strongly, calling Trump's actions an "electroshock" that should push the European Union to take charge of its own defense and reduce reliance on U.S. military support. Macron emphasized the need for a self-sufficient EU security framework, advocating for European defense investments like the Franco-Italian SAMP-T air defense system instead of U.S. made Patriots. |Trump Putin Call

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has hosted a lengthy conversation with the co-leader of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel. Up 150 experts were expected to monitor the talk live-streamed on X on Thursday evening for potential violations of Germany’s election laws, according to Politico.
