The United States of America, Vice President JD Vance, has criticised European leaders over free speech and democracy.
According to the BBC, Vance disclosed this on Friday in a speech at the Munich Security Conference.
Vance, who is billed to meet with Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, at the instance of the conference to discuss an end to the Russian war, faulted European nations’ approach to democracy and free speech.
Speaking to world leaders, Vance said, “There is a new sheriff in town,” referring to US President Donald Trump.
Earlier, the Ukrainian president said he doesn’t see a “ready US plan” to end the Ukraine war.
Trump had said US, Russian, and Ukrainian officials would meet in Munich—but Moscow says they are not sending a delegation to the summit.
