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.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has strongly condemned former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to "take over" Gaza and relocate Palestinians elsewhere, calling it a "scandal" and a violation of international law. Speaking during a televised debate ahead of Germany’s February elections, Scholz emphasized that forced resettlement is unacceptable, citing opposition from Egypt and Jordan. CDU leader Friedrich Merz also criticized Trump’s remarks but urged caution, noting that much of Trump's rhetoric may not translate into action. The controversy adds to rising tensions as Germany's political landscape heats up ahead of the crucial vote.
