"America is once again the “city on a hill,” a beacon for freedom worldwide. An Englishwoman imprisoned for exercising her free speech has said she is set to meet with American government officials.

Donald Trump has prioritized protecting free speech from his first day in office, when he signed an executive order prohibiting federal government coordination with Big Tech, like the censorship industrial complex that grew to such massive proportions under the Biden administration.
But Trump and his administration have not only tried to protect free speech in America, they have looked to challenge censorship abroad, including the increasingly dictatorial censorship regime in England, where multiple individuals have been sentenced to years in prison for criticizing mass migration and other woke policies on social media.
Connolly said when she heard that the Trump administration was noticing her case, she wasn’t surprised because “I know that he’s a big free speech advocate.” She indicated that it is obvious to those paying attention that the UK “is an embarrassment” on censorship, “the way we’re being silenced.” She confirmed Wootton’s statement that she is to meet with a Trump administration official, and said, “many people are still in prison for a similar thing that I [was].”
