Every message between JD Vance and senior officials about Trump war plans after journalist was accidentally added to chat

The VP is facing heat for warning about President Trump's plans

The media is circling the White House, and after a series of messages between senior government officials were apparently leaked, the Trump administration is facing some harsh questioning. With the USA intervening in the Middle East, the President of the United States sanctioned a series of airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi Rebels.

Although President Donald Trump has referred to the bombings as 'effective', the fact that the plans were seemingly leaked to one journalist ahead of time is a major cause for concern for Democrats and Republicans alike.

President Trump claims not to have been aware, and Elon Musk has downplayed the incident where The Atlantic's editor-in-chief is said to have been added to a Signal chat that reportedly included the likes of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Perhaps the biggest name on the list is Vice President JD Vance, not least for his apparent thoughts on the entire thing.

Suggesting that Vance might not have been on Trump's side when it came to the Houthi airstrikes, the leaked messages include the VP seemingly referring to the entire situation as a 'mistake'.

The account labeled JD Vance says: "Team, I am out for the day doing an economic event in Michigan. But I think we are making a mistake...3 percent of US trade runs through the suez. 40 percent of European trade does.

“There is a real risk that the public doesn’t understand this or why it’s necessary. The strongest reason to do this is, as POTUS said, to send a message."

It's true that Vance was in Michigan that day, with the 'JD Vance' account adding: "I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now. There’s a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices.

"I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself. But there is a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, etc."


The POTUS had announced 25% steel and aluminum tariffs just two days before Vance was accused of sending the March 14 messages. Europe is again the focus of the American government, and when the person identifying as Hesgeth later says the strikes will appear divisive, Vance concluded: "If you think we should do it, let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again."

Highlighting the Trump administration's arguments that European allies are economically profiting from the US Navy's protection in International shipping lanes, the Hesgeth account said: "I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC...Still, I think we should go."

Responding to The Atlantic's claims, Vance spokesperson William Martin represented a united front: "The Vice President’s first priority is always making sure that the President’s advisers are adequately briefing him on the substance of their internal deliberations.

"Vice President Vance unequivocally supports this administration’s foreign policy. The President and the Vice President have had subsequent conversations about this matter and are in complete agreement."

These leaks come after an explosive meeting between Trump, Vance, and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. With the messages now out in the open, something tells us the musings of the White House's senior officials aren't going to calm the situation in Europe.
