VP Vance’s Global Travels Are a Mix of Diplomacy, Dealmaking, Soft Power and Family Time
- Vice President JD Vance traveled internationally in early 2025, visiting India, Italy, Greenland, and Europe as part of diplomatic and cultural engagements.
- These trips followed prior high-level diplomacy under the Trump administration and aimed to promote U.S. interests and soft diplomacy alongside family time.
