Hey, remember how the doofus-in-chief promised that manufacturing employment would go up with tariffs? That factories would open in the United States? The thing that he said all the economists were lying about?
Who'd have guessed this would happen except everyone?

Vance lets the cat out of the bag. The US has no intention of asking Russia to make concessions or moves for peace. The US will either help Russia get the best deal possible, or walk away.
