Leaked Message Exposes JD Vance’s True Feelings About the UK  And It’s Absolutely Heartbreaking

US Vice President JD Vance’s true feelings about the UK have come out, and let’s just say they’re not flattering. So much for the so-called “special relationship” between Britain and America. In leaked messages among top US officials, the UK – along with the rest of Europe – was dismissed as a bunch of freeloaders. The Americans didn’t try to separate us from other European countries; they just threw us all into one basket and mocked us.

The leaked conversations came from top-level White House discussions about secret airstrikes in Yemen. These messages reveal just how little respect they have for the UK and Europe. It’s true that European ships use the Red Sea and Suez Canal far more than American ones – about ten times more, actually – and are at much greater risk of being attacked by Houthi rebels.

Still, it’s worth mentioning that the British military does play a role in those missions. Our Royal Air Force is involved, and our tanker planes even help refuel American bombers in the sky. But none of that was acknowledged in the leaked texts that ended up being sent, by mistake, to an American journalist who was shocked by what he read.

One message said: *“I think we are making a mistake, 3% of US trade runs through the Suez, 40% of European trade does. I’m not sure the President is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now. I just hate bailing Europe out again.”* That came from Vice President JD Vance, who could even become the next US president.

Then the US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth added: *“I fully share your loathing of European freeloading. It’s PATHETIC.”* Not exactly the kind of respectful talk you’d expect from allies.

To top it off, the national security adviser, Michael Waltz – who accidentally included a journalist in the private messages – joined in with a reply of three silly emojis. For someone in his position, that’s pretty immature and embarrassing. It’s like they’re handling international issues the way teenagers send memes.

Let’s be honest: Europe, including the UK, has relied heavily on the US for military and political support for decades. One American senator even said this week: “Time for those guys over there to start paying for their own umbrella.” And clearly, the US is tired of footing the bill. Their frustration isn’t quiet anymore – it’s loud, blunt, and public.

Now it seems like the powerful people in Washington talk about Europe the way people do in small-town bars – with sarcasm and little respect. That’s a harsh new reality. If Michael Waltz had to explain it again, he’d probably just use more emojis.


Amanda Knox, who was once wrongly convicted of killing British student Meredith Kercher in Italy back in 2007, opened up in an exclusive interview on *Good Morning Britain*. She spent four years in prison before being fully cleared. Despite her name being cleared, she still feels haunted by that time.

Now 37, Amanda has found some peace and shared a deep reflection: “I’ve learned to value what I have because it could all be taken away in a second. When I had nothing left, I still had myself – and that was enough.” She’s shown strength and calmness, and she’s turned her painful past into something meaningful.


It didn’t come as a shock this week when the UK Foreign Office warned travelers about stricter border checks when arriving in the US. Anyone breaking even a small rule could be arrested and held in a cell, thanks to Donald Trump’s tougher immigration orders.

I saw it firsthand. Last month, my wife Judy and I flew to Florida, and the welcome we got at immigration was ice cold. In over 40 years of visiting the US, I’d never experienced anything like it. The questions just kept coming: Why were we there? Where were we staying? What were we going to do? What were our jobs? When I said I was a journalist, the mood got even colder. They asked about money, how much we were carrying, and when we’d leave.

It felt less like entering a holiday destination and more like being interrogated. In the end, we got our passports back and were allowed in, but it was clear we weren’t exactly welcome. If you’re heading to the US soon, make sure you follow every rule carefully. The mood at Passport Control has clearly changed — and not for the better.
