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.

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.
