U.S. Vice President JD Vance met the leader of a German far-right party during a visit to Munich on Friday, nine days before a German election and after lecturing European leaders about the state of democracy.
US Vice President JD Vance met with the leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD), Germany’s far-right party which previously saw backing from billionaire Elon Musk.
Vice President J.D. Vance held talks with Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD), at the Munich Security Conference after crictizing organizers for not inviting members of her party. 'The organizers of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing populist parties on both the left and the right from participating in these conversations,' he added.
