Trump Redirects VP Vance to Probe Domestic Corruption, Rejects Iran Deal
President Donald Trump has directed Vice President JD Vance to shift focus from Iran peace talks to investigating alleged crime and corruption in Democratic-led US cities and states, including Minnesota, California, and Illinois. Trump claimed billions of dollars are being stolen monthly in these areas and suggested addressing this could help balance the federal budget. He also stated the US no longer needs a deal with Iran, citing control over Iranian funds and the Strait of Hormuz. Vance, previously involved in Iran negotiations, distanced himself from the war after Republican midterm losses.
