How JD Vance emerged as the chief saboteur of the transatlantic alliance
Briefly

JD Vance's role in the recent Oval Office confrontation with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has raised concerns about the future of US-EU relations. By accusing Zelenskyy of leading propaganda tours, Vance positioned himself as a provocateur, which, in conjunction with Trump's interventions, risks deepening rifts in postwar alliances. Vance's eurosceptic stance was further articulated during a Munich speech, where he expressed skepticism towards Ukraine's alliance with the US, eliciting strong reactions from European leaders. This marks a notable shift in US foreign policy and raises questions about continued support for Ukraine amidst the war with Russia.
