In an interview on Fox News that began moments after the president's announcement, Vice President JD Vance praised Trump for getting the deal 'across the finish line." "We were actually working on that just as I left the White House to come over here. So that's good news, that the president was able to get that across the finish line," Vance said. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Vance also said that he read a draft of Trump's post "two minutes before we went on the air" and that it was "a little bit different from what the president had showed me a couple of hours ago.
