Rather, he said, it was what he called \u201cthe enemy within\u201d \u2014 their own suppression of abortion protests and other forms of free speech and the sidelining of parties considered extremist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The address stunned and silenced hundreds of attendees at the Munich Security Conference, a forum where top-level politicians, diplomats and analysts had gathered expecting to hear the Trump administration\u2019s plans for ending the war in Ukraine and Europe\u2019s defense against a rising Russian threat in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Instead, the vice president offered what may be a preview of a new kind of trans-Atlantic relationship under Mr. Trump \u2014 one not built on postwar bonds of stability between allied governments, but rather on ties with once-fringe political parties that share a common approach to migration, identity and internet speech.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Vance singled out his German hosts, who will elect a new chancellor next weekend, and told them to drop their <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/11\/world\/europe\/germanys-merz.html\" title=\"\">objections<\/a> to working with a party that has often reveled in banned Nazi slogans and has been shunned from government as a result.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was an extraordinary intervention in the domestic politics of a democratic American ally, and it brought some gasps in the hall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He did not mention the party, the Alternative for Germany or AfD, by name but made a direct reference to the longstanding agreement by mainstream German politicians to freeze out the group, parts of which have been <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/20\/world\/europe\/far-right-germany-fear.html\" title=\"\">formally classified<\/a> as extremist by German intelligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere is no room for firewalls,\u201d Mr. Vance said near the end of his speech.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The AfD has surged to second in the polls with its call to crack down on immigration, and its members have a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/14\/world\/europe\/germany-afd-nazi-hocke.html\" title=\"\">history of use of Nazi language<\/a> and antisemitic and racist comments, along with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/29\/world\/europe\/germany-far-right-plot-court.html\" title=\"\">plots<\/a> to overthrow the federal government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Vance did not note that baggage, nor did he mention any extremist elements of anti-immigration political parties. Without naming any parties specifically, he cast the AfD and its counterparts across Europe as legitimate vessels of voter anger over the millions of refugees who have entered the European Union from the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere over the last decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He also met on Friday with Alice Weidel, the chancellor candidate for the AfD, as well as other German leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">German leaders, across most party lines, bridled at the speech. They immediately rejected Mr. Vance\u2019s suggestion that they should drop their firewall against the AfD, pointing to past comments by AfD members in support of the National Socialists, or Nazis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is our business,\u201d said Thomas Silberhorn, a member of Parliament for the Christian Social Union, the Bavarian sister party of the Christian Democrats. \u201cMy message to the U.S. administration is: German extremists who explicitly refer to National Socialism \u2014 part of the AfD \u2014 are clearly anti the U.S. that liberated us from National Socialism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Boris Pistorius, the German defense minister and a member of the governing Social Democrats, deviated from his planned speech on Friday afternoon to rebuke Mr. Vance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf I understood him correctly he is comparing parts of Europe with authoritarian regimes. This is not acceptable,\u201d Mr. Pistorius said, drawing sustained applause. \u201cThis is not the Europe, not the democracy, where I live.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Germany has been the most successful major European power at shutting its hard-right party out of power, along with France, where a group of rival parties engaged in strategic voting last summer to deny the hard-right National Rally a parliamentary majority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other firewalls have fallen around Europe, including in the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/02\/world\/europe\/netherlands-government-wilders-rutte.html\" title=\"\">Netherlands<\/a>, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/08\/world\/europe\/trump-populist-far-right-leaders.html\" title=\"\">Hungary<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/17\/world\/europe\/meloni-surrogacy-migrants-italy.html\" title=\"\">Italy<\/a>. In Austria, the hard-right Freedom Party has been part of federal coalitions and appeared set to lead its next government, before negotiations with a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/12\/world\/europe\/austria-coalition-talks-far-right-chancellor.html\" title=\"\">center-right party collapsed<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Vance is now the second figure in the Trump administration who has tried to chip away at the efforts to isolate the far right ahead of the German elections next Sunday, by attempting to destigmatize the AfD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The billionaire Elon Musk, a top adviser to Mr. Trump, endorsed the AfD late last year in a post on social media. He has publicly interviewed its chancellor candidate, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/01\/world\/europe\/germany-afd-far-right-scandal.html\" title=\"\">Alice Weidel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/27\/world\/europe\/musk-germany-afd-auschwitz.html\" title=\"\">an address to party members this month<\/a>, Mr. Musk said Germany has \u201ctoo much focus on past guilt.\u201d That was a clear reference to Hitler\u2019s long shadow, which continues to dominate mainstream German politics, including in tight legal restrictions against Nazi language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his speech, Mr. Vance seemed to lump those restrictions into a long list of what he called European deviations from democratic values and attacks on free speech.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those failures, Mr. Vance said, included efforts to restrict misinformation and other content on social media, and laws against abortion protests that he said unfairly silenced Christians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Particularly since the start of the war in Ukraine, European intelligence agencies have raised alarms about what they consider to be a systematic effort by Russia at mass disinformation and propaganda, often by using fake social media accounts to sow division and doubt about democratic systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Vance ridiculed and diminished that threat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt looks more and more like old entrenched interests hiding behind ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation, who simply don\u2019t like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion, or, God forbid, vote a different way, or, even worse, win an election,\u201d he told a largely stony audience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He poured scorn on the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/23\/world\/europe\/romania-election-russia.html?searchResultPosition=2\" title=\"\">decision in \u201cremote Romania,\u201d<\/a> as he called it, to cancel a presidential election because of clear evidence of Russian manipulation of the political campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn\u2019t very strong to begin with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Such statements came as something of a shock for attendees who had hoped to learn more about the administration\u2019s plans for peace negotiations with Russia. Mr. Vance barely mentioned Ukraine and only referred to the conflict in passing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhile the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that it\u2019s important in the coming years for Europe to step up in a big way to provide for its own defense,\u201d Mr. Vance said. \u201cThe threat that I worry the most about vis-\u00e0-vis Europe is not Russia, it\u2019s not China, it\u2019s not any other external actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He added, \u201cWhat I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Vance also decried the mass migration into Germany and other nations in 2015, which included many asylum seekers fleeing wars in Afghanistan and Syria. He tied the migration to terrorist crimes, including a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/13\/world\/europe\/germany-car-crash-munich-driver-arrested.html\" title=\"\">car attack in Munich on Thursday<\/a> by an Afghan asylum seeker, which injured 30 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOver the span of a decade, we saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even before Mr. Vance spoke, experts at the security conference were warning European leaders that they could be in for a fast and painful reordering of the continent\u2019s relationship with the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s push to negotiate directly with Russia\u2019s president over Ukraine \u2014 potentially sidelining European leaders \u2014 and his transactional approach to trade policy and military spending dominated a breakfast panel discussion, hosted by the American Council on Germany and the global accounting firm KPMG.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One panelist, Jana Puglierin, a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin, said that it was possible Mr. Trump would build a new Euro-American alliance between parties that share core values of immigration opposition, unregulated social media speech and \u201canti-woke\u201d attitudes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have an American government that has different values,\u201d she said, \u201cand a different vision of what the West should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The council <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/ecfr.eu\/publication\/transatlantic-twilight-european-public-opinion-and-the-long-shadow-of-trump\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">released new polling this week<\/a> that suggests that value shift has already resonated in Europe. It found that majorities of Europeans now view America as a \u201cnecessary partner\u201d and not an \u201cally\u201d under Mr. Trump. It also found that Mr. Trump\u2019s return to the White House was most celebrated in Europe among members of several hard-right parties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There is one, perhaps paradoxical, exception to that trend. The poll found that members of the AfD were more likely to say Mr. Trump\u2019s election would be bad for Germany than to say it would be good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Emma Bubola
