Vice President JD Vance just abruptly canceled his trip to Switzerland where he would conduct negotiations with Iran. This comes as it’s being reported that Iran is refusing to attend over more Israeli self-defense attacks into Lebanon.
Here’s the news via NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer:
UPDATE VP canceled his trip to Switzerland.
Per a White House spokesperson — “As the Vice President said at his press conference, the plans for the upcoming technical talks have not been finalized, and the U.S. delegation has been prepared to depart at the first available opportunity. But the logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable. As of now the Vice President is not departing tonight. We will let you know as soon as we have a concrete update about next steps.”
