Vice President JD Vance conducted the White House's first press briefing since the departure of former Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. He addressed several key topics including the Venezuela oil deal, the situation in Iran, and national economic pressures.
Vance acknowledged Leavitt's work on enhancing access to information by engaging non-traditional media, viewing it as a means to democratize information.
He discussed high costs for American households, attributing economic issues to past policies of the Biden Administration, and emphasized the importance of rebuilding the middle class.
Gas prices were linked to Iranian attacks on commercial shipping, with Vance advocating for energy independence and initiatives like the Venezuela oil deal.
He indicated that all options regarding Iran, such as economic and military pressure, remain on the table, but emphasized that diplomatic talks cannot resume unless Iran stops its aggression.
Vance credited President Trump with promoting growth in U.S. manufacturing, asserting that recent tax and trade policies have contributed to an economic revival.
Vance concluded the briefing by expressing his honor in attending the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
