While acknowledging disagreements, Vance highlighted the alignment of interests on various issues, including their work on top-secret technology for the North American Missile Defense Shield. He also addressed antisemitism, vowing to stand by Jewish citizens and reject those who promote ethnic hatred, both within and outside the United States.",
