In earlier discussions, we’ve highlighted how Donald Trump strategically utilizes his vice president, JD Vance, as a buffer. Vance, driven by ambition and a desire to ascend to the presidency, has willingly taken on the role of scapegoat for Trump’s setbacks.
Trump appointed Vance as the chief negotiator on the Iran deal, putting him in the media spotlight to advocate for it. Vance embraced this role, but his performance at the White House press briefing on Thursday was deemed unsuccessful.

On Saturday, Vance appeared on Fox and Friends, one of the most Trump-aligned programs in the media, where he stated:
Jared and Steve have been on the ground now for a few hours dealing with some of the technical elements of this negotiation. As you guys know, one of the things the president has set us out to do as a high priority is to open the straits. That’s now happened.
We actually got 16 million barrels of oil out of the Straits of Hormuz yesterday. That is a record going back to even before the conflict started. So you’re seeing those ships move.
Vance is vigorously promoting this peace deal. However, the agreement has collapsed due to Netanyahu’s actions.
