Trump Urges JD Vance to Shift Focus From Iran to Domestic Corruption and Crime

Trump said Vance should give his "complete and total attention" to anti-fraud efforts as Republicans reassess their midterm losses.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump directed Vice President JD Vance to shift his focus from the Iran war to fighting corruption and crime in Democratic-controlled cities and states.
  • Vance, who negotiated a short-lived truce in the eight-month-old war, previously blamed the conflict for Republicans' 'sweeping losses in last week's' midterm elections in the United States.
  • Pointedly directing Vance to focus his 'complete and total attention' on his anti-fraud campaign, Trump earlier this week declared the war 'militarily is effectively over.'

  • Meanwhile, waters around Iran remain treacherous, with the British military reporting at least two tankers struck by projectiles in recent days while traversing the Strait of Hormuz.
