LONDON: US Vice President JD Vance hailed his country´s transatlantic alliances, striking a more positive note, but in an interview urged European states to show greater independence. “I love Europe ... I love European people,” Vance told news and opinion website UnHerd on Monday in rare favourable comments about the European Union and Britain.
“It´s not good for Europe to be the permanent security vassal of the United States,” Vance said, echoing his previous rebukes of EU states for alleged security and economic dependence on the United States.
