The White House is in two parts; the rumor about the removal of Vance from the Iran case and the opposition of the Republicans to the budget of 350 billion dollars; Signs of increasing differences in the US President's camp.
Summary: Donald Trump removed his deputy from this case just one day after the Wall Street Journal report on the possibility of J. Di Vance to enter into direct negotiations with Iran. Declaring that America does not need a deal with Iran, Trump asked Vance to focus on domestic issues and tackle what he called corruption in countries run by democracies. This decision exposed the internal divisions of the US government over how to end the war and negotiate with Tehran.
Vance previously saw the war against Iran as one of the causes of the electoral defeat of the Republicans and criticized its political and economic costs. In the Trump administration, Vance, Witkoff and Kushner support the agreement to end the war, while Rubio and Guest support continued pressure on Iran. The lack of agreement on the choice between a diplomatic agreement and the continuation of the blockade and military pressure destroyed the consensus in the White House.
The exclusion of Vanes also confused the Arab countries in the region. The countries of the Persian Gulf tried to hold the negotiations, because the continuation of the war and the naval blockade threatens the security of shipping and the energy market. Now it is not clear who in the Trump administration is responsible for diplomacy with Iran, and this situation could lead the countries of the region to pursue direct understandings with Tehran.
Trump's disagreements are not limited to the White House and have extended to Congress as well. His request to authorize $350 billion in additional military funding was opposed by several Republicans. Senators such as Josh Hawley, Tom Tillis and Susan Collins have expressed doubts about the necessity, scope and political implications of this budget increase. Republicans are also increasingly unhappy with Secretary of War Pete Guest's conduct in Congress.
The electoral defeat of the Republicans and the consequences of the war against Iran widened the distance between Trump and his party members. Some Republicans are no longer ready to unconditionally support his decisions and warn against the costs of the war and its political consequences.
