JD Vance, who has named former US President Donald Trump’s running mate said that the UK under the aegis of the Labour Party, might be the first truly Islamist country with nuclear weapons. Vance said he has been discussing with a friend which country will be the first truly Islamic country that will get a nuclear weapon.
“Maybe, its Iran, may be Pakistan kind of counts, and then we sort of decided maybe it’s actually UK since the Labour Party just took over, he said last week at a conference for UK Conservatives last week. Britian’s Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, meanwhile, played down Vance comments saying he has a history of making fruity remarks.
Britain would work with whoever won the November 2024 US Presidential Elections, Angela Rayner said, adding that I don’t recognise that characterisation. We are interested in governing on behalf of Britian and also work with our international allies, she said.
In one of his interviews, the after being named Vice-Presidential Pick, Vance also branded the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) as the biggest threat to America, underscored the likely hawkish stance of their administration towards Beijing if elected.
The Ohio Senator made the remarks in an interview with an American news media agency on July 15, 2024, when asked about the war in Ukraine, Vance said Trump would negotiate with Moscow and Kyiv to bring this thing to a rapid close so America can focus on the real issue, which is China.
That’s the biggest threat to the country and we are completely distracted from it, he said. Vance, 39, was tapped by Trump days after a failed assassination attempt on the former president upended what had already been a presidential contest.
Donald Trump recently, spent months evaluating potential running mates observing how they performed on TV at fundraisers and rallies. Some contenders and accompanied him to his criminal trial in New York, while others joined him at the debate last month. The debate was known for President Joe Biden’s poor performance which led to calls for him to step down and let a younger candidate take place.

Trump’s choice of JD Vance as his running mate is a strategic move to energize his loyal base Vance has established himself as a leader who can carry Trumps mantle into the future thanks to his frequent appearances on the conservative media circuit and his willingness to spar with reporters on Capitol Hill.
In his announcement post, the Trump praised Vance for his dedication to American workers and farmers saying he will be strongly focused on the people with whom he fought so brilliantly in Mid-Western States such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Minnesota as per an international media agency. Vance was once a vocal critic of Trump calling him “total fraud, an idiot, moral disaster and even America’s Hitler.
As Trump political fortunes soared Vance perspective shifted dramatically. Despite his early skepticism Vance later praised Trump’s presidency crediting him with delivering peace and prosperity.” This change in stance led Trump endorsing during his 2022 Senate Bid. Now a steadfast Trump loyalist, Vance has actively defended him against criminal and civil charges and questioned the 2020 election results.
