Vice President JD Vance is doubling down on his support for Donald Trump, hailing him the "President of Peace" as Trump faces bipartisan backlash for branding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "dictator."

"Peace is in the interest of the American people, and he's going to fight for it for the remainder of his administration. Wherever war breaks out, he's going to be the president of peace. Now, he, of course, is a very good negotiator, a very good businessman. He recognizes that a lot of these issues are tough. It's going to take a smart statesman to figure this stuff out," Vance said during a Fox News appearance Thursday. "But we've got that in the White House. And I really believe that we're on the cusp of peace in Europe for the first time in three years because we have leadership from the Oval Office, and we haven't had it in four years in this country."
