Key takeaways
- The president is not going to send our military back in unless he has to, unless there s a clearly defined purpose for it, Vance told reporters after speaking at Naval Air Station Oceana, Va.
- He added: But right now what the president has said is, go and make a deal, go and negotiate in good faith, and that s what he s empowered us to do.
- The U.S. has been in a tenuous ceasefire with Iran since April after it spent seven weeks bombing the country over what the Trump administration has claimed is an untenable nuclear ambition.
