JD Vance addresses Iran war, immigration, and 2028 ambitions in CBS town hall
During a CBS News town hall in Michigan, Vice President JD Vance addressed a wide range of contentious issues, including the administration's record on the Iran war, immigration, and the economy.
Vance faced intense questioning from Joey Amor, whose wife, Master Sgt. Nicole Amor, was killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait. Vance acknowledged that mistakes were made regarding troop locations but stated he was hearing specific details of the incident for the first time during the discussion. He also addressed his previous rhetoric describing H-1B visa holders as ‘indentured servants,’ admitting the language was imperfect and clarifying that his criticism was aimed at companies exploiting the system rather than the workers themselves.
On economic matters, Vance argued that full recovery from current inflation and cost-of-living pressures will require more than 18 months. Regarding his political future, Vance noted that he has not decided whether he will run for president in 2028, citing family considerations and his tendency to procrastinate on major life decisions.
Vance also touched upon foreign policy, stating that while the U.S. has achieved victories against Iran, Washington seeks long-term, verifiable guarantees to prevent the revival of Iran's nuclear program. He further indicated that he has had disagreements with President Trump regarding the strategy for the war with Iran.
