Rubio reaffirmed Vance’s message, highlighting the shared democratic value of free speech. “Why would our allies be irritated by someone giving their opinion? We are, after all, democracies,” he stressed, noting that censorship undermines transatlantic unity.

In the end, this confrontation is a powerful reminder: Free speech is more than a policy—it’s a principle worth defending.
