President Trump welcomed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to the White House on Thursday.
President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Prime Minister Keir Starmer met in the Oval Office to discuss a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine and the future of NATO.
At one point JD Vance called out Starmer to his face for infringements on free speech.
“I said what I said,” JD Vance said during the Oval Office meeting.
“We know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British, of course what the British do in their own country is up to them can but also affect American technology companies and by extension American citizens,” Vance said.
“So that is something that we’ll talk about today at lunch.”
British police have been *arresting* <www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/uk-man-arrested-social-media-post-mocking-transgender/> people over their social media posts criticizing transgender individuals.
