JD Vance says Trump clashed with former officials for refusing to engage in ‘ridiculous war’
JD Vance, the author of "Hillbilly Elegy" and a potential Republican senatorial candidate, has reportedly said that former President Donald Trump had conflicts with officials in his administration due to his resistance to engage in unending wars. This possibly points to Trump's approach to foreign policy, which often included calls for withdrawal of American troops from long-lasting conflicts around the world. Trump's reluctance to deploy American military power indiscriminately was sometimes at odds with traditional Republican hawks and certain officials in the Pentagon. Vance argues that these stance by Trump was one of the reasons for clashes within his administration.
