Should the Trump admin threaten the UK and other European nations about their censorship?

I think he should. Not sure what we should threaten to do to them, but their leftist governments are openly imprisoning people for hate speech on social media.
They should force them to pass free speech laws or else. I think many people in Europe would welcome our “influence” in this arena.
It would also allow the people of Europe to express their displeasure with their governments and their insane immigration policies.

No, he should define it in terms that if you want to continue to do business with us and be our allies, you cannot violate certain bedrock core principles of America.

Yes. The UK is working with Sen. Klobuchar to attack free speech and "kill X". EU going after social media, especially Elon.
Our entire relationship with the UK must be re-calibrated to start with.

More than just “This is wrong, jailing people for speech you disagree with.” We need a stick, not a carrot.

That should go for every country. Looking at China and Saudi Arabia.

Personal I think Trump should expel the British Ambassador for show for them interfering with our election by polling for the Democrats.

Well, the United States has always used sanctions to protect the basic liberties of people around the world, so this would seem to fit.
At the very least, unlike the fraudulent way the Dims have been using the asylum system to import new third world voters who will suck of the government teet and stay on the Democrat plantation, it sound like these people (exercising the free speech) are the ones who should be eligible for asylum.

Only if its this..." To our allies in Europe. The free people of America will no longer support being a part of an organization of nations, NATO, that no longer supports free speech for its citizens, How can we as Americans give defense to countries who give offence to its own people".

Should we meddle in other countries business? Maybe we should worry about America first and leave Britain to the British etc.

They’re quickly moving towards either full blown Socialism or being overtaken by Muslims.

How exactly has the USA benefited from these so called allies? Maybe it’s time to reconsider the world order

Should definitely threaten them about their continual abuse of American companies that are fined and harassed in Europe.

There is a guy on Twitter named Richard Medhurst. He mostly just posts pro-Palestinian stuff. I won't say I agree with him, but he has opened my eyes to a lot of things. He is facing terrorism charges there. It's way worse than Assange IMO because at least with Assange there was some question about him facilitating or coordinating hacks. But, you don't have First Amendment rights in the UK, so he's screwed. The prosecution is weird given that the U.K. seems to have otherwise bent over for the Muslim mob.
