Trump and Vance take questions together for first time since start of Iran war


This video features President Trump and Vice President JD Vance answering reporters' questions in the Oval Office regarding the military conflict with Iran.

  • Diplomatic Strategy: Trump mentions that Iran's leadership has been heavily reduced, making it difficult to know who to talk to, but expects a safer world once the conflict is wrapped up soon (6:28-6:4021:39-21:46).
  • Domestic Issues: The video also touches upon a future vote on the Save America Act in the Senate and announces that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with breast cancer but plans to continue working (23:45-25:40).
