The Trump administration wants its allies to be “on the same page”.

They are on a mission.
A cadre of senior State Department officials are scheduled to travel to France and Ireland to encourage both countries to respect the rights of citizens, reported the Daily Wire.
A senior State Department official shared with the Daily Wire that the reason for the trip was to fight “egregious examples of democratic backsliding” and “violations of basic natural rights” in Europe.
The program was started by the department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, which is centered on defending freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to privacy.
The senior State Department official told the Daily Wire that the countries in question “claim to be bastions of democracy, they’re so-called liberal democracies that preach inclusivity and tolerance and progress, and the reality on the ground just simply shows that isn’t the case.”
The delegation will meet in France with government officials to discuss the recent arrest of French politician Marine Le Pen. In Ireland, their discussion will focus on concerns that a new European Union law could be used to censor free speech.
Under Trump’s administration, the State Department wants to nudge American allies to respect the rights of their own citizens, as well as the rights of Americans. Foggy Bottom views trips like this as opportunities to contend with the global political apparatus that has been weaponized against both European and American people, an apparatus that wants to silence individuals who stand up for traditional values like faith, freedom, and family, according to the Daily Wire.
During the Munich Security Conference, Vice President JD Vance sees real threats facing its allies in Europe “from within” — particularly cases of governments targeting their own citizens and particular forms of political and religious speech. Those targeted are overly Christian, conservative, or nationalist.
