- Vance takes lead selling Trump’s Iran gamble as Rubio, Hegseth and Ratcliffe c...
Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland this week as the Trump administration’s most visible defender of a fragile Iran memorandum of understanding, even as officials moved to tamp down reports of internal concern over whether Tehran can be trusted to follow through on nuclear concessions."If it doesn’t happen, I’m blaming JD Vance. If it does happen, I’m taking full credit," joked President Donald Trump this month of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran.The MOU, signed last week, has not resolved the core dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, but instead opened a 60-day negotiating window aimed at turning broad commitments into enforceable terms — leaving Vance to defend a framework that supporters call a diplomatic opening for sustained stability in the region and skeptics fear could give Tehran room to stall.While Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have been central to previous high-profile foreign policy missions, Vance spent last week as one of the administration’s chief public advocates for the Iran deal, repeatedly fielding questions about the negotiations during a media blitz for his new book.JD VANCE REVEALS DETAILS OF US-IRAN DEAL, ADDRESSES WHETHER TAXPAYER MONEY WILL GO TO TEHRANA senior U.S. official told Fox News Digital earlier this month that there was a "split" inside the administration on support of the Iran MOU but wouldn't say which officials did not support the decision. The talks have been fragile for weeks, with the MOU serving less as a breakthrough than a temporary framework while U.S. officials continue to wrestle with whether Iran can be trusted to follow through on nuclear commitments.CIA Director John Ratcliffe reportedly emerged as a key intelligence leader who expressed doubt about the intelligence behind the Iran deal to Trump and other senior officials, Axios reported. Rubio and Hegseth also reportedly held reservations, while Vance and other officials advocated for the MOU, according to the outlet. The CIA did not comment when asked by Fox News Digital if Ratcliffe was skeptical about the deal.A second senior U.S. official told Fox News Digital that Trump officials were all aligned in supporting the deal and viewed it as the appropriate path forward.While a White House official added that Vance emerged as a lead negotiator because Trump tasked him with the role from the outset, arguing his position as vice president gives him the stature to bring key players from countries… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - Fox News Poll: Voters embrace health agenda while rating RFK Jr negativelyWhen it comes to the U.S. food supply, more voters prioritize protecting public health than lowering food prices, according to the latest Fox News Poll.The survey, released Monday, also finds broad voter support for key elements of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, even as they give Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. negative job ratings.By a 16-point margin, voters prefer safeguarding public health (58%) more than lowering food prices (42%).FOX NEWS POLL: MOVE OVER BIG BROTHER, VOTERS SEE BIG TECH AS GREATER THREAT TO USThat view crosses party lines, with majorities of Democrats (57%), Republicans (58%), and independents (62%) prioritizing health and well-being.MAHA was popularized by Kennedy during his 2024 presidential campaign and evolved into a national health-policy movement after he ended his bid and endorsed President Trump. Some of its goals include improving nutrition, eliminating harmful additives, and enhancing children's health.Roughly 9 in 10 voters say it is extremely or very important for the government to focus on improving food safety (89% important), lowering food costs (88%), and expanding access to healthy foods (85%). About 8 in 10 consider limiting harmful additives (83% important) and increasing transparency in food labeling (81%) important.

FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS DOUBT NEW AGREEMENT WILL STOP IRAN FROM DEVELOPING NUKESSupport for new food regulations is prevalent. More than 9 in 10 voters favor requiring clearer food labeling (91%), and almost as many (87%) support banning food additives that other countries have restricted because of health concerns.Smaller majorities support banning flavored nicotine products, including vapes and nicotine pouches (65% favor) and prohibiting children under 16 from using social media platforms (60%). Eliminating vaccine requirements is less popular, as fewer than 4 in 10 are in favor (36%) – although that number is up 10 points since December.Most policies enjoy widespread support across key demographics, except on vaccines where differences emerge.More Republicans (45%) than Democrats (25%) favor eliminating vaccine requirements in public schools by a 20-point margin (the only proposal where fewer than half of each group favor it), and more MAGA (53%) than non-MAGA Republicans (32%) support eliminating vaccines by 21 points.Men, Black voters, and voters under age 30 are more likely to favor eliminating vaccine requirements than women, White voters, and voters 65 and up."If… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
