Second foreign visit as Vice President

Vance went to France and Germany last month on his first foreign visit after becoming Vice President. On his first foreign visit, his speech at the Munich Security Conference on illegal migration, religious freedom and election integrity angered European countries.
Vance had targeted European leaders for not protecting democracy and freedom of expression in their countries. He said that America is more worried about this in Europe than any external threat from Russia or China. Vance accused European leaders of ignoring the concerns of their people.

Usha Vance's parents Krish Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri came to the US from India in the late 1970s. Usha and JD met while studying at Yale Law School. Usha is a lawyer. She has a bachelor's degree from Yale University and a master's degree from Cambridge University. JD Vance and Usha Vance have three children: two sons, Evan and Vivek, and a daughter, Mirabel.
