JD Vance Shrugs Off Private Trump-Putin Phone Calls: What's Wrong with 'Speaking to World Leaders?'

The Republican vice presidential nominee seems to be unconcerned with a new report alleging that Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin several times after leaving office.

During a rally in Detroit, JD Vance admitted he "has never talked to Trump about his calls with Putin" but asked attendees whether they saw an issue with it.

"Even if it's true, is there something wrong with speaking to world leaders? Is there something wrong with engaging with diplomacy?" Vance asked rally attendees to resounding "noes."

The Ohio senator then attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, stating her approach has been "to hide in a basement, hide from the American people, and hide from world leaders," which he said has gotten the country "on the verge of World War III."

"It's a disgrace and it's a complete failure of a foreign policy," Vance added.

The claim was made by journalist Bob Woodward in his forthcoming book, "War," which was previewed in a report by CNN.
