Seven GOP Senators Criticize JD Vance, Sparks Trump Jr. Response

Vice President JD Vance faced backlash from seven anonymous Republican senators who criticized his foreign policy views, particularly his reluctance to support military action against Houthi militants in Yemen. The senators, expressing their concerns to the Jewish Insider, described Vance's stance as revealing an 'isolationist' mindset that perplexes European allies. Donald Trump Jr. defended Vance, labeling the senators as 'cowardly neocons' for their anonymous attacks and questioning their courage to speak openly. Vance argued that the Houthis represent more of a European issue than a direct threat to U.S. interests, a viewpoint that has drawn mixed reactions within his party. Some senators expressed disappointment in Vance's lack of urgency regarding military responses to threats against U.S. allies. The controversy raises questions about the GOP's direction on foreign policy and Vance's alignment with Trump's America First principles.
