Vance says Trump seeking ‘grand bargain’ with Iran US Vice President JD Vance said President Donald Trump is seeking to make a “grand bargain” that would reset ties if Tehran changes course. Speaking at a conference hosted by Turning Point USA in Georgia, Vance said Washington had offered to normalise economic relations with Iran if it was “willing to act like a normal country,” while emphasising that Trump’s core policy remains preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. “We have this ceasefire that’s in place, I think it’s six or seven days old, this ceasefire is holding,” Vance said.
