It would seem as though Vance's grift worked spectacularly well

This is the response he was looking for

Where's the grift? I think y'all have overused the word and forgot the meaning.

Grift: "to obtain (money or property) illicitly (as in a confidence game)."

Or is the US somehow scamming the EU for money?

I'd say extorsion? asking for money in exchange or protection?
