Vice President JD Vance was absent from President Donald Trump's news conference on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro's capture due to security concerns, according to a spokesperson.
Vance publicly praised the operation on X but did not attend the briefing. Vance did meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday to discuss the strikes, but was not at Trump’s golf club Friday night where senior Trump officials monitored the mission because the national security team "was concerned a late-night motorcade movement by the Vice President while the operation was getting underway may tip off the Venezuelans."
"The Vice President joined by secure video conference throughout the night to monitor the operation. He returned to Cincinnati after the operation concluded."
