Vice President JD Vance is the new face of Donald Trump’s Iran deal, as the president returns from his attendance at the G7 summit and remains wary of the intense blowback awaiting him on Capitol Hill.
The vice president took the White House briefing room stand Thursday to discuss the terms of the administration’s 60-day ceasefire extension with Iran, which sets the stage for sanctions relief and immediately triggers processes to allow Iranian oil to hit the global market in what would represent a major economic boon for Tehran and a lifeline for its struggling autocratic government. There is also a $300 billion economic development fund the U.S. hopes to develop with funds sourced from regional investing partners, rather than taxpayer dollars.
