Israel is is a good partner to the United States. That is true. But sometimes people mischaracterize it and say that Israel and the United States are fundamentally always aligned. It's just not true. We're different countries. We have different needs. We have different geographies.

Axar.az reports that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance made these remarks in an interview on The Diary of a CEO (DOAC) podcast, hosted by British entrepreneur Steven Bartlett.

Responding to the question “Do you trust them?”, Vance said that he does not trust anybody:

"You know, I don't trust anybody. Um, when it comes to international affairs and diplomacy. Do I think that they're they're very capable? Absolutely. Do I think that again, when we have shared interests, we work together very well? Absolutely. But I don't trust anyone. And I think that we we just have to continually be laser focused on what our interests are."
