Vance deletes X post referring to ‘Armenian genocide’
The White House said the post calling the 1915 massacres a genocide was posted by staff in error and contradicted official U.S. policy amid delicate Turkey relations.
- On Tuesday, the White House deleted a post from U.S. Vice President JD Vance's official X account that described the 1915 killings as a `genocide` during his visit to the Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial, Yerevan.
- A Vance aide said staff not part of the travelling delegation posted the message in error, while the White House blamed an unnamed aide for the second deletion in days.
- The social post displayed JD Vance and Usha Vance laying a wreath and showed his guest book entry, while Vance did not use `genocide` and said he went to `pay my respects` at Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's invitation.
- The White House maintained there is `no change of policy at this time`, drawing criticism from Democratic lawmakers and Armenian diaspora advocates, while Turkey rejects the genocide label, leaving diplomatic consequences unclear.
- On the broader trip, Vance signed a strategic partnership with the Republic of Azerbaijan and a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement, securing $11 million in U.S. reconnaissance drones and potential $5 billion exports tied to TRIPP.
