US Vice President's Controversial Meetings in Munich

During the 61st Munich Security Conference in Germany, US Vice President JD Vance sparked controversy by meeting with far-right leader Alice Weidel instead of German Chancellor Scholz. Vance criticized the organizers for not inviting AfD and BSW politicians, then met with Weidel to discuss various topics including the ongoing war in Ukraine and AfD's relations with other parties. Despite not meeting with Scholz, Vance also met with CDU leader Friedrich Merz. Scholz, in response, emphasized Germany's commitment to democracy and denounced accusations of increasing repression. With the upcoming elections, Scholz remains confident despite poll predictions, as a significant portion of voters are undecided.
