Trump pulled Vance out of talks with Iran after he criticized the war.
Donald Trump removed Vice President J. Dee Vance from participating in negotiations on Iran. Politico writes about it. The reason, according to the publication, was a public statement by Vance, in which he made a connection between the serious defeat of the Republicans in the mid-term elections and the prolonged conflict against Iran.
Now, instead of international diplomacy, the vice president is tasked with dealing with domestic affairs. In particular, Vance will focus on fighting corruption and alleged crime in cities and states run by Democrats.
Thus, Trump not only distanced his deputy from sensitive negotiations, but also moved him to an issue that traditionally works well in partisan rhetoric.
