Munich | Vice President J.D. Vance on Friday (Saturday AEDT) urged European leaders to end the isolation of far-right parties across the continent, an extraordinary embrace of a once-fringe political movement with which the Trump administration shares a common approach on migration, identity and internet speech.
The address stunned and silenced hundreds of attendees at the Munich Security Conference, a forum where top-level politicians, diplomats and analysts had gathered expecting to hear President Donald Trump’s plans for ending the war in Ukraine and Europe’s defence against a rising Russian threat.
