JD Vance Expresses Concern Over Potential Expansion of Nuclear Weapons in Eastern Europe

On Thursday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance expressed his surprise at the possibility of President Donald Trump supporting the deployment of nuclear weapons further east in Europe. This statement came in response to inquiries regarding Poland's request for the United States to consider placing nuclear arms on its territory as a deterrent against potential Russian aggression. Vance noted during an interview on Fox News, "I have not discussed this specific issue with the president, but I would be shocked if he were to endorse the expansion of nuclear weapons further east in Europe." His comments reflect ongoing tensions in the region and the complex dynamics of international security. The situation continues to evolve as Eastern European nations seek assurances amid rising geopolitical concerns.
