Trump Assigns VP Vance to Investigate Corruption in Democratic-Led Cities, Rejects Iran Deal
President Donald Trump has directed Vice President JD Vance to focus on investigating crime and corruption in Democratic-led US cities and states, citing potential budget savings from addressing these issues. Trump specifically named states like Minnesota, California, and Illinois as examples of alleged mismanagement. He also stated that a new deal with Iran is unnecessary, claiming the US holds significant leverage. Vance, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, recently distanced himself from Trump's Iran policy following Republican election losses.
