Trump Phones Friends for Secret Performance Review of Vance

Vice President JD Vance has found himself on a short leash with his boss.

President Donald Trump has been quietly canvassing confidants for their views on Vance’s performance as the vice president tries to negotiate a deal with Iran, three people familiar with the conversations told CNN.

Trump, 79, kept close tabs on Vance, 41, as he traveled to Islamabad, Pakistan, over the weekend for peace talks with Iran. The president spoke with Vance as many as a dozen times during the 21 hours of negotiations, and asked friends and advisers how they would rate the vice president’s performance, according to CNN.
