President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he liked the idea of blaming Vice President JD Vance if a deal to end the war with Iran does not work out.

Trump, addressing reporters at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, also said he might stay in Europe to sign a memorandum of understanding with Iran, but that he also might not stay.

The president seemed to suggest that the memorandum might not result in a deal that would look good for him.

“It’s very important, but it might not be the kind of document that I should be signing,” Trump said.
