U.S. Vice President JD Vance arrived at Andrews Air Base in Maryland ahead of his flight to Switzerland for negotiations with Iran. Speaking to reporters before departure, he said he was leaving "in the hope of bringing progress on the nuclear issue and regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon." He added that he could remain in Switzerland for "a day or two."
The trip comes as Washington pursues diplomatic talks with Tehran, while also seeking movement on the situation in Lebanon. Vance did not provide further details about the agenda or possible outcomes, only saying he hoped the meetings would advance both tracks.
