Watch: Vance gives remarks at global security conference

Vice President Vance gave remarks in Washington on Wednesday as part of the Munich Leaders Meeting on global security.

The Q&A, which was led by former German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger, came a day after a roller-coaster election in Germany, when a new chancellor was elected. It also follows Vance’s harsh criticism of free speech practices in the European Union, which German leaders pushed back on.

The topic of global security is primary of interest as the U.S. seeks to help broker ceasefire deals in the Middle East and Eastern Europe — and as tensions rise between Pakistan and India after the latter hit their neighbor with deadly strikes near the Kashmir region, which both nations claim as their own.

The event was scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. EDT.
