A rift is growing between the Trump administration and European leaders. On Friday, Vice President JD Vance gave a speech at the Munich Security Conference where he repeatedly attacked Europe on a number of issues, including migration and free speech.

Vice President JD Vance: “And trust me, I say this with all humor. If American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg’s scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk. But what German democracy — what no democracy — American, German or European — will survive is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief are invalid or unworthy of even being considered.”

While in Germany, JD Vance held a 30-minute meeting Friday with the head of Germany’s far-right AfD party. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz rebuked Vance for meeting with the AfD just a week before Germany’s election.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz: “That’s why we will not accept if outsiders intervene in our democracy, in our elections and in the democratic formation of opinion in favor of this party, the AfD. That’s just not done, certainly not amongst friends and allies. We resolutely reject this.”
