Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized President Donald Trump for seeking advice from Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the conflict between Israel and Iran. Pence emphasized that considering Putin’s actions in Ukraine, Trump should not rely on him for guidance in the Israel-Iran situation. Trump’s recent call with Putin discussing Iran and Israel highlighted their differing approaches, with Trump advocating for an end to the conflict. This contrasts with former President Joe Biden’s stance against Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Pence, a strong supporter of Israel, emphasized the importance of ongoing U.S. support for the country. Additionally, Pence commended Trump’s warning of using the full military might in response to any Iranian attacks on the U.S. Pence’s break from Trump after the Capitol attack in 2021 and his refusal to endorse Trump’s 2024 presidential bid underscore their political differences. This latest rift between Pence and Trump showcases the ongoing complexities within the Republican Party and their divergent approaches to foreign policy and international relations.
