Vice President JD Vance and Maria Bartiromo Discuss Air Traffic Control Safety, President Trump’s Tariffs and Foreign Policy (VIDEO)

Vice President JD Vance was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the recent aviation crash in DC, President Trump’s tariffs and foreign policy initiatives.

“There is a very direct connection between the policies of the last administration and short-staffed air traffic controllers. That has to stop,” Vance said.

“The President made very clear that he wasn’t blaming anybody, but he was being very explicit about the fact that DEI policies have led our air traffic controllers to be short-staffed. That is a scandal, thankfully it’s a scandal the President has stopped,” Vance continued.

“We are talking about 20-year-old traffic management systems, and they are responsible for detecting and managing landings at airports,” Bartiromo commented.

“If you look at these old, antiquated air traffic control systems it really does look like a video game that is 30 years old. We’ve got better software. We need a Federal Government that is more responsive to the technology that is out there,” Vance said.

Vice President Vance also commented on Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ statement about fighting President Trump’s agenda “in the streets.”

“For Hakeem Jeffries to go out and say that you need to fight in the streets, it’s dangerous, it’s disgraceful rhetoric,” Vance commented.

Bartiromo also asked Vance what his main role is in getting cabinet members confirmed.

“What role will you have specifically in that?” Bartiromo asked.

“I play the role that the President needs me to play, right, whether it’s casting the tie-breaking vote or maybe talking to some of my old Senate colleagues about the importance of voting on this nomination,” Vance said.

“I sort of see my job as an all-around player,” Vance continued.

Vice President Vance also commented on President Trump’s tariff policies.

“Are you expecting retaliation?” Bartiromo asked.

“The problem with this whole idea that they are gonna retaliate is they have already been taking advantage of America for decades. The retaliation is Donald Trump saying no more,” Vance continued.
