President Trump makes a joking remark about assigning responsibility if a preliminary Iran-related deal does not succeed. Speaking with Fox News’s Peter Doocy, Trump says he “like[s] that idea” when asked whether Vice President JD Vance would take the blame if the deal falls through. Trump also indicates he would take credit if the effort works out. The reports describe the comments as humor, not a formal statement of policy or a binding commitment. CBS News also includes political strategists discussing the remark and its potential political implications, but both outlets report the same core exchange: Trump’s quip about blame shifting to his vice president in the event the preliminary deal does not proceed as planned. The articles do not provide additional details about the substance of the preliminary agreement itself, focusing instead on the president’s comments and the immediate reactions and analysis around them.
