JD Vance has suggested that American support for NATO should be predicated on the European Union not regulating Elon Musk and his X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.
The Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio senator claimed in an interview with YouTuber Shawn Ryan that a top EU official had threatened to arrest the billionaire if he allowed former President Donald Trump back on X.
“The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, ‘We’re going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump,’ who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States,” Vance said in the interview published last week.

This is why Europe must take control of its own defense. Europe doesn’t want to be a mere vassal of the US for precisely this reason.
Also parts of nato are not part of eu. Like the the UK.
And Canada. Also, some EU states are not in NATO.
Probably a better example as UK will apply as soon as they can. Unlike Norway who really likes to just pay EU and not have a voice or voting rights
Don’t see the UK getting back in the EU for a while…
