MUNICH — JD Vance made his vice-presidential debut on the global security stage Friday in a scolding speech here, pressing Europe’s centrist leaders to move over to accommodate the rising anti-migration, nationalist voices they have at times sought to block from power.

Vance also met with a far-right German leader whom the country’s centrist parties have long sought to block from power as part of a broader series of meetings with the country’s top politicians just over a week ahead of national elections.

The meeting with Alice Weidel, head of the anti-immigration, nationalist Alternative for Germany party, was a major step for her movement, which major parties have sought to bar from coalitions.

Vance is the most senior U.S. official ever to meet with a leader from the party. He also met in recent days with the leaders of Germany’s two other major parties, which are locked in competition ahead of Feb. 23 elections, in which the Alternative for Germany party might break through a post-World War II taboo and join a ruling coalition for the first time.
