Vance tells Israel Trump is ‘your only ally’ left as Iran talks postponed
US Vice President JD Vance has warned Israel that President Donald Trump is its only friend left in the world as he batted away criticism of the Iran deal.
Speaking at a White House press briefing about the reported $300bn reconstruction fund included in the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Iran to end the months-long war, Vance said Israeli government ministers needed to think twice before attacking the deal.
“My message to them would be twofold. Number 1: Donald J Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time,” Vance told reporters on Thursday.
