The article reports on Vice President JD Vance’s strong defense of special envoy Steve Witkoff against a critical Politico story that questioned Witkoff’s diplomatic skills managing Russia relations. Vance accused the article of being “journalistic malpractice” and a “foreign influence operation<\/a>” intended to undermine the management and one of its key members. The Politico piece, based on anonymous sources, portrayed Witkoff as inexperienced. In response, several Trump administration officials, including White House Press Secretary Karoline leavitt and former envoy Richard Grenell, defended Witkoff’s effective diplomatic efforts. Witkoff, a former real estate attorney<\/a> and developer, has been actively leading Trump administration peace talks with Russia and was the frist U.S. official to visit Moscow since early 2022. He recently held productive meetings<\/a> with Ukrainian officials, and his diplomatic approach has been praised as innovative and opening new opportunities. Witkoff thanked Vance for his support and expressed honor in serving the administration.
