Donald Trump's Running Mate JD Vance Stirs Row With "Islamist" Nuclear State Jibe At UK

JD Vance said he had been discussing with a friend which country would be the first "truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon".

JD Vance, who has been named former US President Donald Trump's running mate, stirred a controversy after he said that that UK under Labour might be the first "truly Islamist" country with nuclear weapons.

Vance said he had been discussing with a friend which country would be the first "truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon".

"Maybe it's Iran, maybe Pakistan kind of counts, and then we sort of decided maybe it's actually the UK since Labour just took over," he said last week at a conference for UK Conservatives last week.
