Vice President JD Vance spoke to the "AI Action Summit" in Paris on Tuesday during his first trip abroad since taking office. You can watch the full program below the transcript of Vance's speech. "This is a beautiful country, President Macron, and I know that you are proud of it, and should be. Yesterday, as I was touring Les Invalides with General Gravette and my three kids, he was kind enough to show me the sword that belonged to America’s dearest international friend from our own revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette. He let me hold the sword, but, of course, he made me put on the white gloves beforehand. It got me thinking about this country, France, and, of course, about my own country, and about the beautiful civilization that we have built together with weapons like that saber -- weapons that are dangerous in the wrong hands but are incredible tools for liberty and prosperity in the right hands."

Worth the ~15m. He is extremely impressive.
Excellent, thank you.
Worth one’s time to listen to his command of the speech. He tied holding LaFayette’s sword and reminded the crowd of the connection between America and France in our Revolution.
