Vance recalled a recent incident in the White House, where he and the president were discussing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran.

“‘That’s a pretty amazing title if you think about it,’” Vance said he told the president at the time. “But (Trump) looked at me in the Situation Room a few days ago, and he said, `Mr. Vice President, you don’t have to call him the Supreme Leader, but you would if the guy had a nuclear weapon’.”

Vance continued, “Because the leverage that nuclear weapons give you to destabilize the world to destroy our economic interests, to destroy our national security interests... you don’t want the worst people in the world to have a nuclear weapon.”
