Senate Republicans have called out JD Vance’s reassurances about U.S. missile supplies after a closed-door briefing about Donald Trump’s war with Iran.
The White House wants $70 billion to cover the costs of a conflict that has now entered its sixth month despite Trump initially saying it would last for “a few weeks.” Senators have yet to move it. The vice president, 42, met Republicans in the Capitol’s Mansfield Room last week, where The Hill reports he dismissed talk of a munitions crunch as “misdirection.”
One senator in the room told the outlet that Vance left no space for doubt. “He was very bold that there was a misdirection and unfortunate misdirection that emboldens the enemy,” they told the outlet. “It emboldens the enemy if they think we’re out of ammunition.”
