Vance claims Europe nears peace thanks to Trump

At the Conservative Political Action Conference, US Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism about achieving peace in Europe, crediting President Trump for leadership that he believes has been absent for the past four years. Vance emphasized the importance of dialogue with Russia, arguing that peace cannot be achieved without engaging all parties involved in the conflict. He also criticized Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for his negative comments about Trump, warning that such attacks could backfire. Vance claimed that the ongoing war has strained American resources and criticized European leaders for not showing gratitude for US aid to Ukraine. Despite the positive outlook, Vance did not provide specific updates on current peace talks with Russia. The remarks come amid a backdrop of escalating tensions and shifting US foreign policy regarding the war in Ukraine.
