Republican lawmakers have accused Vice President JD Vance of trying to obstruct President Donald Trump’s foreign policy after leaked chat messages showed him questioning the wisdom of Trump’s decision to bomb Yemen.
Nearly a week after The Atlantic published a shocking report about top administration officials coordinating military plans in an unsecured group chat, Republicans on Capitol Hill “still have their jaws on the floor with how actively the VP worked to try and undo a Trump decision,” a senior official told NBC News.
The purpose of the chat—which took place on the commercial messaging app Signal and included Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but not Trump—was to discuss potential strikes targeting the Houthis, an Iran-backed militant group wreaking havoc on shipping traffic in the Suez Canal.
