President Donald Trump’s administration would not support the idea of deploying nuclear weapons to Eastern Europe, US Vice President JD Vance said in an interview with Fox News.

“I haven't talked to the President about that particular issue, but I would be shocked if he was supportive of nuclear weapons extending further east into Europe,” Vance said.

Also, he slammed the previous US administration’s approach. "You have people like [Former US President] Joe Biden sleepily walking us into a nuclear conflict," Vance maintained. "We need cooler heads to prevail, [including] on this Russia-Ukraine thing (…). The Biden administration’s strategy was literally to shovel weapons at the Ukrainians, allow the Russians and Ukrainians to bleed out and hope that somehow a settlement appeared out of thin air," Vance continued.

"Donald Trump is engaging in tough diplomacy in enlisting his entire administration to find out what do Ukrainians want, what do they need? What do the Russians want? What do they need? Because the war is stupid. It would have never started if he [i.e. Trump] had been [the US] president [at the time], and it continuing is not in the interest of anybody," the US vice president concluded.
