Trump says US doesn't need Iran deal, charges Vance with investigating Democrat city corruption
Vance, who had taken on a role in trying to resolve the conflict with Iran, distanced himself from Trump's war on Wednesday after Republicans' midterm election rout by Democrats.
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump expressed his desire for Vice President JD Vance to concentrate on investigating crime and corruption within Democratic-run US cities, stating that such efforts could help balance the Budget. Trump argued that the nation already possesses hundreds of billions of dollars from Iran and control over the Strait, rendering a deal with Iran unnecessary.
He wrote on social media, "We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!"
Vance, who had been involved in efforts to resolve the conflict with Iran, quickly distanced himself from Trump's stance on Wednesday after Republicans suffered a midterm election defeat at the hands of Democrats. He questioned the worth of continuing the war, attributing Republican electoral losses to the conflict. Vance, considered a top 2028 presidential contender, also remarked that a previous recommendation to end the war was sound advice.
Trump has consistently criticized Democratic-run cities over immigration policies and alleged corruption since assuming office for his second term.
