European politicians and diplomats had already prepared for changes to their relationship with the US in the event of a second Donald Trump presidency.
Now that the Republican candidate has chosen Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate, those differences appear even more stark on prospects for the war in Ukraine, security and trade.
A vocal critic of US aid to Ukraine, Mr Vance told this year’s Munich Security Conference that Europe should wake up to the US having to “pivot” its focus to East Asia.
“The American security blanket has allowed European security to atrophy,” he said.
Every time I read JD Vance my mind goes
“JD Vance of Vance Refrigeration”
What was that guys name from The Office again?
Bob. Bob Vance, Vance refrigeration.
I keep thinking of J. D. Power and Associates like he’s gonna rate Honda Civics.
I keep seeing his have and confusing him for Dale from Tucker and Dale vs Evil.
Like, without Alan Tyduk, the evil wins.
What line of work are you in JD?
