Trump reassigns Vance from Iran diplomacy to fraud crackdown
President Donald Trump has pulled Vice President JD Vance from potential peace talks with Iran, directing him to focus instead on alleged fraud in Democratic-run cities and states.
“We don’t need a deal with Iran,” Trump wrote on social media. “Those days have long since passed.”
According to New York Times, the announcement deepens questions about the president’s plan to end the war. It comes over a week after Vance blamed the conflict for the Republicans’ heavy losses in the November 3 midterm elections.
Vance chairs the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, established by executive order earlier this year.
