He affirmed the building of iron curtain by soviet and that the Europe would be against it.

The Iron Curtain Speech was given by Churchill in 1946, where he:

-condemned the Soviet use of an Iron Curtain to block th communication of central and. Eastern Europe with the West.

-believed that the US should cooperate with Western Europe to resist the Soviet Military and political foreign expansion.

Hope it helps!

In his Iron Curtain speech, Winston Churchill affirmed his wish to side with the United States against the Soviet Union and his belief that only the United States possessed nuclear weapons.

The expression Iron Curtain was implemented by Winston Churchill to make reference to the border, both physical as well as ideological, that divided Europe into two blocks after World War II.

When delivering that speach, he said “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.”
