Munich Security Conference 2025 | Selected Key Speeches, Vol. 2
Speech by JD Vance and Selected Reactions
Over the last sixty years, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) has developed into the world’s leading platform for debate on foreign and security policy. While its formats have evolved over the years, its mission has remained unchanged since 1963, namely to build trust, and ultimately peace, through sustained exchange between key decision makers.
From the early days of Ewald von Kleist and Henry Kissinger to the more recent appearances of President Putin or President Biden, the conference has offered stages to hundreds of important speeches, many of significant historical value.
This second volume in our series on selected key speeches focuses on the address of US Vice President JD Vance to the MSC 2025 and the many reactions it sparked — both at the conference and beyond.
