JD Vance鈥檚 high-stakes test
Linda Feldmann
This weekend, Vice President JD Vance faces a high-stakes test of his ability to deliver as President Donald Trump鈥檚 closer in talks with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan. Mr. Vance brings to the table an anti-war reputation that could help build trust with the Iranians.
But even before the vice president had left U.S. soil, cracks were appearing in the limited two-week truce that delayed Mr. Trump鈥檚 threat of civilizational destruction. The politics of 2028 also hang over the proceedings, with Mr. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio seen as top contenders for the GOP presidential nomination. Simon Montlake has our report.
