“Obviously, the President makes decisions, and for the teams we have, there is a role in both economic policy, and each person plays a role in fulfilling those directions, and there is full confidence in the entire senior team,” Vance explained to Fox News Digital. “It kind of empowers you because you don’t have to check in all the time. You don’t have to micromanage some of these things.”
Vance told Fox News Digital that he spoke to the Secretary of State. Marco Rubio After not telling him on Tuesday, “previously four or five days ago.”
“It’s kind of nice to know you’re working on the Secretary of State who’s working on his stuff, the Department of Defense who’s working on his stuff. Of course, I’m working on my stuff,” Vance said. “And we’re all going back. We’re going to renew the president. We’re going from there.”
But Vance said it was “a very fluid and dynamic situation.”

“I think that will definitely continue in the next 100 days and over the next four years,” Vance said. “But I think making it possible, and making it possible, is that people actually trust each other.”
Vance told Fox News Digital that the president “has total trust in his team.”
“And it’s become so easy for you to actually work well when you’re not always checking in, and you’re not constantly dealing with the bureaucracy,” Vance said. “You can go and work.”
Vance told Fox News Digital that he feels “very empowered by the president” as vice president.
“I was talking to Secretary Rubio about this yesterday and I feel Marco Rubio is very empowered. There’s a sense that the president likes and trusts his senior team, so he can govern effectively,” Vance explained. “The president deals with a million different things, but it’s much easier to digest when you can give your team instructions and say, ‘Do this,'” it’s much easier to digest. And that’s what’s happening on the economic side.
“And obviously, I have a more global view of this because I am the Vice President, and that is really surprising, because I don’t know if the president had the first administration or not, so that’s really surprising.

“Many people were very excited about the American leadership of AI, but of course we gave speeches we’ve heard all over the world in Munich. This is just one of the things we can do in this office,” Vance told Fox News Digital.
“And I think some of our European allies look like our European friends will do the same thing just as they are trying to change their dynamics in free speech, religious expression, border control and the United States.” ”
Another highlight, Vance said, was his visit to Eagle Pass, Texas.
“That was another highlight, because it didn’t mean anything negatively and it was barely boring on the Eagle Pass, because Border Patrol agents were overwhelmed by illegal immigrants and showed me pictures of these places that we now can’t see anyone.”
