Ouch. The Munich Security Conference had some truly cringeworthy bits for Pence, who appeared visibly shaken at the total silence when he called for support for the US position on Iran.
The current administration has done more to harm US interests and standing in the world that I would have thought possible in such a short time.
Speaking in Europe, Mike Pence is received with total silence — repeatedly
Two cringeworthy, viral video clips from Vice President Mike Pence’s recent trip to Europe illustrate how unpopular the Trump administration has become with the United States’ European allies.
During a speech at a conference in Poland about Middle East policy last Thursday, Pence called on America’s allies to follow the Trump administration in withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal.
“The time has come for our European partners to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, and join with us as we bring the economic and diplomatic pressure necessary to give the Iranian people, the region, and the world the peace, security, and freedom they deserve,” Pence said.
He paused, expecting his audience to applaud. Instead, he was met with total silence. Visibly surprised by the reception, the VP took a deep breath and shook his head before proceeding with his speech.
