After Donald Trump announced that the U.S. had captured the leader of Venezuela, there was some speculation about whether JD Vance was on the same page as the president. A new report answers that question.
Trump made the disclosure early Saturday morning that there was a military strike on Venezuela.
Hours later, Bloomberg published an article called "Vance, Trump Met Covertly Ahead of Strikes to Keep Secrecy," in which the outlet reports, "Vice President JD Vance was kept away from Mar-a-Lago this weekend due to concerns his presence would signal upcoming strikes against Venezuela," citing "sources close to the vice president."
Bloomberg further continued: "Vance and President Donald Trump met on Friday covertly to discuss details of the U.S.'s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, as the White House plans to temporarily 'run the country.' They met at the president’s golf club in West Palm Beach, but Vance was not at Mar-a-Lago on Friday evening due to security concerns, according to a spokesperson for Vance, who spoke on the condition of background."
