Former US Vice President Mike Pence criticized President Donald Trump’s remarks criticizing Western intervention in the Middle East, calling them a “disservice” to American service members. Pence made the comments during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” just days after Trump returned from his first trip to the region as president. The criticism comes amid a shift in Trump’s approach to foreign policy, which has been seen as more transactional than traditional diplomatic efforts. Pence also expressed disapproval of the $400 million jet deal with Qatar, citing national security concerns.
