Vice President J.D. Vance is in hot water with American citizens after he admitted that Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, played a major role in the negotiations and peace talks with Iran.

J.D. Vance Reveals Jared Kushner Handled Iranian Assets

The Trump administration is currently navigating a peace deal with Iran, and during a recent press conference in Switzerland, Vance revealed that Jared Kushner is heavily involved in the details. One detail in particular is what to do if the United States agrees to unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets as part of a future agreement. Trump and his administration want to ensure that money couldn't be diverted to Iran's military or proxy groups instead of ordinary citizens.

"Jared Kushner actually came up with a very interesting solution with the Qataris, where basically—if there is any frozen Iranian assets that are unfrozen, then we have approval over that process, the Qataris have approval over that process, and then the money would actually go to buy American soy, American corn and American wheat for the benefit of the Iranian people," Vance explained. He provided no context as to why Kushner was privy to any of the details pertaining to the US-Iran conflict.

Social Media Reactions

Across social media platforms, users were furious upon hearing Vance's admittance, calling him out for sharing such classified and important information with someone who isn't even a member of the government. "Important reminder," one person wrote on X. "Jared Kushner is not an elected official and has no business anywhere near government meetings or peace talks."

"No one voted for Jared Kushner," another person wrote.

"He also has not had any security clearance," added the next user. "And by not being elected, he doesn't have to disclose any conflicts of interest."

"This is not reassuring at all," agreed another person.

"Why is a private citizen managing a complex negotiation between the US and Iran?" asked another.

"This is the same guy who said he would have no part in Trump's second administration," a final user pointed out.
