- US Vice President JD Vance experienced a challenging weekend, marked by the failure of peace talks with Iran and the electoral defeat of his endorsed candidate in Hungary.
- Vance led 21 hours of negotiations with Iran in Islamabad, which ended without agreement, as the US remained unsatisfied with Tehran's commitment to abandon its nuclear weapon ambitions.
- Donald Trump reacted to the failed Iran talks by announcing a US Navy “blockade” of the Strait of Hormuz and publicly joked about blaming Vance if a deal wasn't reached.
- Days after Vance personally endorsed Viktor Orban in Budapest, the Hungarian leader lost his re-election bid, ending his 16-year tenure.
- Vance faced widespread criticism and mockery from figures like Ron Filipkowski and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who highlighted his recent foreign policy setbacks.
