Trump orders Vance to focus on "corruption" in Democrat-run areas, not Iran

President Donald Trump directed Vice President JD Vance to shift his focus from potential Iran negotiations to investigating alleged corruption in Democrat‑controlled cities and states, declaring that the U.S. does not need a deal with Iran. In a Truth Social post, Trump emphasized rooting out “massive corruption and crime” among Democrats, framing the move as a strategic reorientation after Republicans’ midterm losses. The statement signals a domestic political priority over foreign policy.
