During the Munich Security Conference, US Vice President JD Vance held a meeting with Germany's far-right AfD party leader Alice Weidel. The meeting took place in a hotel room and lasted approximately 30 minutes. They engaged in discussions regarding the ongoing Ukraine war and German domestic politics.
Earlier this month, Weidel expressed her well wishes for the new administration in Washington during a rally in Halle, Germany, where she was accompanied by Elon Musk. She specifically mentioned wishing the best for Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and JD Vance in their future endeavors.
Vance's speech at the conference stirred controversy as he criticized European leaders for allegedly stifling free speech and for their reluctance to collaborate with hard-right political parties in government.
