A forthcoming book on Donald Trump's second term claims the president erupted at Vice-President JD Vance over a single word, fuming that aides should simply parrot his description of the 2025 strike on Iran.
The account appears in 'Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump', written by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan and excerpted by Politico ahead of publication. It centres on Trump's insistence that Iran's nuclear sites had been 'obliterated,' a claim Vance initially declined to echo.
