"It's fine to disagree, but once the president makes a decision, it's up to everybody who serves in his administration to make it as successful as possible. If you are on the team and you can't help implement the decisions of his administration, he has the right to make those decisions, then it's a good thing for you to resign."
"I know Joe Kent a little bit. I like Joe Kent. You heard the President of the United States say yesterday that he likes Joe Kent too. But it's one thing to have a disagreement of opinion. I know the President very well. He welcomes differences of opinion. He recognizes that everybody has smarts and everybody has wisdom."
"The president has said this, I've said this, nobody likes war. Vance argued the Iran situation will not turn into a drawn-out, boots-on-the-ground conflict like Iraq and Afghanistan, as many critics fear."
Vice President JD Vance addressed Joe Kent's resignation as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, characterizing it as appropriate. Kent resigned publicly over U.S. strikes against Iran, contending Iran posed no imminent threat and suggesting Israel motivated the strikes. Vance acknowledged that disagreement within the administration is acceptable, but emphasized that once President Trump makes a decision, all officials must work to implement it successfully. Vance stated that if administration members cannot support the president's decisions, resignation is the right course of action. He noted personal respect for Kent while maintaining that loyalty to the administration's agenda is essential. Vance also addressed concerns that the Iran situation could escalate into prolonged conflict similar to Iraq and Afghanistan.
