Vance says US policy must serve American interests first US Vice President JD Vance said that there are disagreements between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over how to bring the conflict with Iran to an end. Speaking during a television interview, Vance said it was natural for allies, including Israel, to seek to influence US policy, but stressed that American leaders must remain focused on their own national interests. Vance said policymakers must be "extremely careful" to ensure they are pursuing policies that serve the interests of the United States rather than those of another country.
