It’s about time someone like JD Vance took a stand against European overreach and their absurd threats against American citizens like Elon Musk. If these EU authorities think they can push Americans around, they’ve got another thing coming.
Vance said during an interview with YouTuber Shawn Ryan, “I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, ‘We’re going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump,’ who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States.”
JD Vance on how the U.S. should respond when NATO countries threaten Americans like Elon Musk over free speech.

“If NATO wants us to continue supporting them, and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don’t you respect American values and respect free speech?” Vance asked.
He continued, “It’s insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn’t gonna be pro-free speech.”
JD Vance sounded the alarm on European overreach, threatened to pull U.S. support from NATO if European authorities pursue arrest threats against Elon Musk.
This is how we put America back in the driver's seat on the global stage.

“We’ve gotta say American power comes with certain strings attached. One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies,” Vance warned. “European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech.”
He is right to threaten the withdrawal of U.S. support from NATO if they continue down this path of disrespecting American values. This is how we put America back in the driver’s seat on the global stage.
