At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland, Vice President JD Vance delivered a powerful speech defending President Trump’s diplomatic efforts with Russia.
Vance addressed criticism from the left and the mainstream media, making it clear that talking to Russia is the only way to end the war in Ukraine.
Vance’s Key Takeaways at CPAC
✔ “How are you going to end the war unless you’re talking to Russia?” – Vance pointed out the hypocrisy of critics who oppose Trump’s diplomatic efforts while failing to offer solutions themselves.
✔ Real Progress Toward Peace – He argued that Trump’s negotiations with Putin could bring an end to hostilities in Europe for the first time in three years.
✔ Prioritizing America’s Interests – Unlike previous administrations that funded endless foreign wars, the Trump administration is pursuing peace without compromising American strength.
Why This Matters
For years, the left has pushed for endless war funding with no clear plan for peace. Trump and Vance are proving that diplomacy—not reckless spending—is the best path forward.
With America First policies guiding foreign relations, the U.S. is returning to a position of strength and stability on the world stage.
