U.S. Vice President JD Vance, addressing the Munich Security Conference, expressed concerns over the decline of free speech in Europe and the potential dangers of unvetted immigration. He emphasized that the greatest threats faced by Europe are internal rather than external, specifically referring to values like free speech that appear to be eroding. Vance condemned EU regulations aimed at governing social media and reiterated Trump's commitment to defending free expression. His remarks were underscored by a recent violent incident in Munich, linking societal issues to immigration policies.
The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia. It's not China, it's not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within.
Across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat.
How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and take our shared civilization in a new direction?
In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town. And under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square.
