Democrats claim they are exerting “soft power” by wasting our money on silly crap like Sesame Street in Iraq. If they actually wanted to exert America leverage to advance freedom throughout the world, they would follow the example of the Trump Administration.

Via Revolver News:

Western nations love to pretend they’re the gold standard of freedom and that all-important precious democracy—but lately, countries like the UK are looking a lot more like the regimes we used to fight against. …

Trump’s new plan is to put economic pressure on these so-called allies and force them to respect real human rights, starting with free speech.

Via Daily Express:

Keir Starmer’s hopes of agreeing a free trade deal with the US could be at risk over a free speech row. The US state department issued a statement [March 30] saying it was “concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom” …

[A] source familiar with trade negotiations told The Telegraph there should be “no free trade without free speech”.

Readers will recall JD Vance’s historic speech at the Munich Security Conference in February, calling out Western Europe for suppressing speech moonbats don’t want to hear:

Others in the Trump Administration are on the same page. The Secretary of State backed up Vance firmly:

The USA and UK have enjoyed a special relationship going back generations. We fought in two world wars largely for its sake. It is based not merely on shared language and history but on shared values. That’s why the Trump Administration is defending our friendship by calling out the betrayal of these values, which prominently include freedom of speech and thereby freedom of thought.
