> In a combative speech at the Munich Security Conference in February, Vance argued that free speech and democracy were threatened by European elites. > Trump has also been critical of the UK stance on encryption. The US president has likened the UK’s order to Apple to “something... that you hear about with China,” saying in February that he had told Starmer: “You can’t do this.” > US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has also suggested the order would be an “egregious violation” of Americans’ privacy that risked breaching the two countries’ data agreement. I think that’s exactly why I want encryption.
