Trump Administration Responds After Vance's Embarrassing Peace Talks Video

The Trump administration has gone into damage control after JD Vance appeared to get snubbed at his summit with Iran.

The vice president was in Switzerland for peace deal talks on Sunday when cameras showed him being bypassed by Qatari Prime Minister Sheik Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who warmly greeted the leader of the Pakistani delegation, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Footage of the incident led to assessments that Vance, who had attended the negotiations with Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, had been given the cold shoulder by his counterparts at the Lake Lucerne Summit.

However, in an identical statement to The Daily Wire and the New York Post, an unnamed White House official said it was "complete nonsense" that Vance had been snubbed.
