At the CPAC conference in Washington, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance expressed his concerns about illegal immigration, which he considers the greatest threat to Europe. Vance emphasized that "millions of unchecked illegal immigrants" pose a serious challenge to civilization.

Vance noted that the future of U.S. relations with Europe would depend on shared values, such as "freedom of speech."

The American taxpayer subsidizes the entire defense of Germany. Thousands of American soldiers are currently stationed in Germany. Do you think the American taxpayer will tolerate this if people in Germany are imprisoned for posting a malicious tweet? Of course not, Vance reminded, emphasizing that the presence of American soldiers in Germany is not unconditional.

Negotiations in Europe

In the context of ongoing negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, Vance assessed that the talks are in an early stage, but we are "on the brink of peace in Europe." He stressed President Trump is ready to talk to all parties to achieve lasting peace.

He wants to stop the killing and bring lasting peace to Europe, Vance said, adding that Trump is striving to end conflicts worldwide.

Vance boasts about his Munich speech

Vance argued that his speech at the Munich Security Conference was positively received among European conservatives, many of whom attended CPAC. In Munich, Vance criticized Brussels and key officials, pleasing anti-EU circles.

The speakers at the Washington edition of the conference included Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, and Slovakian government head Robert Fico.
