Vice President JD Vance:
“The Israelis and the United States have a lot of shared interests, but we also have some situations where our interests diverge.”
“I think where President Trump has been very clear here is that while Israel obviously has some objectives that it has, the U.S. main objective in Iran is to ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon.”
“Over the last year and a half, we’ve created the space necessary where the president believes, and I think that he’s right, that we can get a long-term settlement to Iran’s nuclear deal.”
“Israel may like that. They may not like that. But fundamentally, we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America.”
“We’re going to keep on pursuing it because that’s what President Trump was elected to do.”
