JD Vance threatens European leaders at Munich security summit. - Full Speech - FIVE MINUTE NEWS

[Rhiannon12866]

Vice President JD Vance threatened European leaders to end the exclusion of far-right extreme parties across the continent such as Germany's AFD, a striking endorsement of a once-marginal political movement that aligns with the Trump administration’s extremist stance on migration, national identity, and online speech.

His remarks shocked and silenced hundreds of attendees at the Munich Security Conference, where top politicians, diplomats, and analysts had gathered expecting to hear Trump’s strategy for ending the war in Ukraine and strengthening Europe’s defense against a growing Russian threat.

Vance specifically addressed his German hosts, urging them to abandon their refusal to cooperate with a party known for using banned Nazi slogans and long excluded from government. Though he did not name the Alternative for Germany (AfD), he directly referenced the long-standing commitment of mainstream German politicians to isolate the group, parts of which German intelligence has officially designated as extremist. - 02/14/2025.
