BlockBeats news, on November 10, reported by the German news television channel on November 9, that in an interview before the U.S. election, Trump's campaign partner James David Vance threatened that if the EU continued to take action against Elon Musk's social platform X (Twitter), the U.S. would refuse to support NATO member countries within the EU. It is reported that with Trump's victory, Vance is also about to become vice president, which adds weight to this threat. At that time, Vance stated in the interview that a senior EU official threatened Musk that if he allowed Trump to return to the Twitter site (now the social platform X), he would be arrested.
It is reported that Vance suggested in an interview to use U.S. support for NATO as leverage to make Europeans comply: "If NATO wants to continue to receive our support and hopes we continue to be an excellent member of this military alliance, then why don't you support American values and freedom of speech?" He also stated, "I have to say, U.S. military support is conditional, one of which is to respect freedom of speech, especially for our European allies to do so." (Reference News)
