'Europeans depend on American technology': Vance challenges Europe over Musk's Starlink regulations

JD Vance has jumped into the growing Starlink row surrounding Ukraine, defending Elon Musk and turning his criticism toward Europe as Kyiv struggles with disruptions to satellite services used by its military. Vance said the controversy should not be reduced to blaming Musk, arguing that SpaceX is a private company and that the real issue is U.S. policy toward Ukraine and Russia. He said it was understandable that Musk would not want to personally decide how deeply his company becomes involved in a war between two states.
