US President Donald Trump has suspended Vice President JD Vance's participation in the Iran talks process. He has instructed Vance to focus on allegations of corruption and criminality in US states and cities run by Democrats.
Modern.az reports that “Politico” newspaper published this information on November 12.
According to the publication, this conclusion was formed after Trump's post on the social network “Truth Social”. The US president said a day earlier that Washington no longer needed to reach a new agreement with Tehran. In his opinion, the US has enough opportunities to put pressure on Iran.
Trump later announced his new assignment to Vance:
“I asked Vice President Vance to focus entirely on the widespread corruption and criminality occurring in Democrat-run cities and states within the United States.”
Thus, instead of participating in diplomatic contacts, Vance will deal with alleged violations of law in Minnesota, California, Illinois and other regions governed by representatives of the Democratic Party.
Trump's decision came after Vance linked the protracted conflict with Iran to the Republicans' defeat in the midterm elections.
Last week, the vice president stated that the war with Iran was one of the reasons for his party's loss of majority in both houses of Congress. Trump himself had previously expressed a similar opinion.
It should be noted that the vice president previously played an important role in the negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
In April, he led the US delegation at a meeting hosted by Pakistan to reach an agreement on ending the conflict. However, the parties could not reach an agreement in those talks.
