A dispute at the White House rocked European leaders, shattered the US partnership with Ukraine, and brought attention to JD Vance’s crucial role in vehemently articulating Donald Trump’s foreign policy. Given his recent outbursts on the international scene, what motivates the vice president’s perspective?
Many were taken aback by Vance’s first significant international speech, which he gave at the Munich Security Conference in mid-February. The US vice-president made a passing reference to the bloodiest European conflict since World War Two, instead of concentrating on the violence unfolding in Ukraine.
Rather, he made his international debut by criticizing close US allies over free speech and immigration, implying that the European establishment was anti-democratic. He raised concerns about what common ideals they were actually uniting with the US to uphold and charged them with disregarding the wishes of their people.
If you are considering running in fear of your own supporters, there is nothing America can do for you as well, nor for that matter, nor is there nothing you can do for the American people,” warned him. It was a daring and possibly surprising way to make his public debut—by upsetting his European buddies.
