Washington, March 14 (NationPress) US Vice President JD Vance expressed strong support for President Donald Trump’s military measures against Iran while also highlighting the administration's economic strategies during a speech in North Carolina. He emphasized the government's commitment to ensuring American safety while simultaneously boosting the nation’s economic stability.

In his address in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Vance stated that the military operation under the Trump administration is focused on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

“You all are aware that we are currently undertaking military actions to guarantee, as the president has consistently stated, that Iran is never allowed to possess nuclear capabilities,” Vance stated. “This is a fundamental principle that we stand by.”

The Vice President called for support for US service members stationed abroad.

“I urge each one of you to communicate to every individual serving overseas in dangerous conditions that this community in North Carolina stands with them,” he added.

Vance refrained from revealing the counsel he provided to President Trump during private discussions concerning the Iran operation.

“I regret to disappoint, but I'm not going to stand here and disclose what I said in that confidential setting,” he remarked, referring to conversations held in the White House Situation Room.

He stressed the importance of keeping sensitive national security discussions private.

“It’s crucial for the President of the United States to converse with his advisors without the risk of those advisors leaking information to the media,” Vance emphasized.

Addressing the economic ramifications of the conflict, including escalating fuel prices, Vance assured that the administration is actively managing the fallout.

“I can assure you that Chris Wright, our capable Secretary of Energy, and Scott Bassen, our Secretary of the Treasury, are leading the administration’s response concerning the economic aspects of this situation,” he noted.

Vance stated that Trump prioritizes reducing fuel prices and enhancing domestic energy production.

“Neither he nor I support high oil prices,” Vance said, affirming the administration’s commitment to lowering “the prices at the pump to what’s reasonable for the American populace.”

During the event, he also capitalized on the opportunity to underscore the administration’s economic agenda, claiming that Trump’s policies have benefited household finances.

“Under Joe Biden’s leadership, the average American family saw a decrease of around $3,300 in take-home pay, while they gained approximately $1,300 during Donald Trump’s presidency,” Vance stated. “Inflation has decreased, and interest rates are lower, indicating economic recovery.”

“We haven’t witnessed inflation levels as low as they were last month and the previous month during Trump’s presidency,” he remarked.

Vance maintained that the administration’s economic initiatives aim to bolster prosperity for working-class families.

“The affordability crisis was instigated by Joe Biden, whereas Donald J. Trump has made the American people $1,300 wealthier,” he stated.

He also mentioned that the administration is focusing on law enforcement and immigration control, linking these policies to decreasing crime rates.

“We should utilize federal authority to back our police instead of opposing them,” he asserted.

Furthermore, Vance emphasized the necessity of deporting criminal migrants.

“The most effective method to reduce homicides, carjackings, and other violent crimes is to remove illegal alien criminals from the United States,” he stated.

Throughout the event, Vance committed to ongoing federal assistance for communities in North Carolina recovering from disasters.

“We are dedicated to delivering the essential resources to the residents of North Carolina,” he affirmed.

These comments come amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East following the Trump administration’s military actions against Iran, alongside a growing national debate regarding the scope and implications of the conflict.

Trump has consistently asserted that Iran must be prevented from obtaining nuclear weapons, a stance reiterated by numerous US administrations over the last two decades. This issue remains pivotal to US policy towards Tehran and a significant source of tensions throughout the Middle East.
