  "summary": "US Vice President JD Vance stated that petrol prices would be significantly higher without the presence of the US Navy in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the Daily Times, Vance attributed disruptions in global energy to attacks on tankers and Iran’s restrictions on shipping. While acknowledging that fuel costs are currently elevated, he predicted they would decrease once the US-Israel war on Iran concludes.\n\nDuring a CBS News town hall aired on October 17, Vance also addressed immigration policies in response to questions from Michigan voters. As reported by Hindustan Times - World News, Vance defended an immigration system centered on shared community values and social cohesion, arguing that citizens should live alongside people with whom they have commonalities. These remarks occurred as the Trump administration increases its scrutiny of employer-sponsored green cards and employment-based visas.",
