| Description: | True. JD Vance did say that “military tools of leverage” could be used if Moscow did not cooperate with the terms of a negotiation that ended fighting between Russia and Ukraine. He did rule out U.S. deployment, saying “the president is very clear that whenever he walks into negotiation, everything is on the table.” While Vance claimed his words were “twisted,” a full transcript shows he did not rule out military action. |
