"I know that oil is down today and it's way down from the highs in the early days of the conflict," Vice President JD Vance said on Fox News.

"That's goal number one -- keep oil and gas cheap for Americans all over our country," Vance said.

"And then obviously goal number two is to ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon," he added.
