Vance says President Trump wants to make 'grand bargain' with Iran

Vice President JD Vance told Americans in Georgia Tuesday night that President Donald Trump wants to make a "grand bargain" with Iran that promises economic success to the Middle Eastern country.

The vice president said a deal the United States offered Iran during peace negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend could normalize economic ties between the two countries if they commit to not having a nuclear weapon.

“He doesn’t want to make, like, a small deal. He wants to make the grand bargain,” Vance said at a Turning Point USA event. “The reason why the deal is not yet done is because the president wants a deal where Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon, Iran is not state-sponsoring terrorism, but also, the people of Iran can thrive, prosper and join the world economy."

“He’s saying if you guys commit to not having a nuclear weapon, we are going to make Iran thrive, we’re going to make it economically prosperous, and we’re going to invite the Iranian people into the world economy,” Vance continued. "That’s the kind of Trumpian grand bargain that the president has put on the table."

Vance also urged young voters at the University of Georgia not to be disillusioned over American foreign policy because the administration has other successes under its belt, including securing the southern border.

“I’m not saying you have to agree with me on every issue,” Vance said. “What I’m saying is, don’t get disengaged because you disagree with the administration on one topic, get more involved, make your voice heard even more.”
