During a recent event in Michigan, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance expressed his belief that China poses the most significant threat to the United States. This statement came in response to Vice President Harris naming Iran as the greatest adversary of the US in an interview with 60 Minutes.
Vance emphasized the magnitude of the threat posed by China, stating that it surpasses that of Iran. He criticized Harris for what he perceived as a willingness to engage in conflicts worldwide, contrasting it with Donald Trump's approach of prioritizing peace through strength and protecting American citizens.
Highlighting Trump's role in promoting peace, Vance made a pitch to Arab American voters, emphasizing the importance of peace in the Middle East region. He noted that both Jewish and Arab Americans recognize the value of peace for Israel and Palestine, portraying Trump as a proponent of peace during his presidency.
While addressing the support of Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib, the first Arab American and Muslim to lead the city, Vance expressed enthusiasm for the backing received from the diverse community. He mentioned plans to engage with more Arab and Muslim American leaders in future visits to Michigan.
The discussion also touched on a past claim by Trump regarding a visit to Gaza, which Vance did not address directly. Despite this, Vance's focus remained on advocating for peace and highlighting Trump's perceived commitment to peacebuilding efforts.
