President Trump on Thursday said that Vice President JD Vance is to shift his focus to “massive corruption” and “crime” in Democrat-run cities and states.
“I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood! We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed.

“But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there,” he added.

New York Post:
The vice president, a longtime critic of protracted wars in the Middle East, attempted to revive talks last month by sending a letter with Trump’s blessing to Mohsen Rezaei, the hardline secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

Thursday’s announcement leaves special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as the primary negotiators with Iran.
Vance had joined the envoys in April to take part in unsuccessful mediated peace talks in Pakistan.
