Vice President Vance says Iran will not receive a single U.S. taxpayer dollar, arguing any future economic benefits depend on abandoning its nuclear ambitions:
First of all, they never get a dime of American taxpayer moneyโever. Full stop. Not even close. What we have said is that there is a lot of economic benefit in the United States relieving sanctions and welcoming them back into the world economy. There is a lot of prosperity that can come from that. Itโs not American money, but there are economic opportunities that can follow. What the president has said to them is this: we want you to be a successful country. But for you to be successful, you have to give up this threat. You have to give up the desire to obtain a nuclear weapon. And if you do that, the United States is willing to have a much better relationship.โ
