J.D. Vance: Trump’s Call to Putin Is ‘No BS Diplomacy’

EXCERPT:

VANCE: "We are actually in the East Wing of the White House and the president says, 'You know what, we have had a pretty good meeting. I’m going to go call Vladimir Putin and see what he says about it.' And everybody's like, 'Oh, you’re going to calling him next week?' And he's like, 'No. What time is it in Moscow? Let’s call him right now.' And I think one of the things I have realized about President Trump’s leadership is he cuts through the B.S. of some of these diplomatic protocols and he just says, 'I want to get things done. If I want to talk to somebody, I’m going to talk to somebody.' You had a lot of the Europeans who are saying, 'No, no, no, there needs to be proper vetting and the teams have to prepare the phone call and blah-blah-blah-blah-blah,' and the president was like, 'No, no, no. I want to talk to the guy. I’m going to talk to the guy.' And I think that kind of no-holds-barred, no-B.S. diplomacy is part of the reason why we've made the progress we have."
