J.D. Vance says ‘threat vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia, it's not China’

Taking the stage at the Munich Security Conference on February 14, 2025, US Vice-President J.D. Vance used his speech to pummel European governments for their policies on migration and digital governance, suggesting the transatlantic relationship was in severe trouble. Vance told an audience that was mostly stunned into silence that the threat he worried the most about is the threat from within Europe.
