Vice President Vance will brief reporters in the White House briefing room on Thursday following the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran.
The briefing will mark Vance’s second time at the briefing podium since press secretary Karoline Leavitt went on maternity leave earlier this year.
The vice president will be pressed on the preliminary agreement, which he has spent most of the week touting in a media tour while promoting his new memoir “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.”
Vance was initially set to attend a formal signing ceremony in Lucerne, Switzerland, but President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed the MOU remotely on Wednesday.
The vice president is still slated to attend formal talks in Switzerland, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The administration has propped Vance up as the face of the negotiations since April, when he led the U.S. delegation in talks with Iranian officials in Islamabad.
Trump joked Wednesday at the Group of Seven summit he will blame Vance if the deal falls through.
“If it works out, I’m going to take the credit. If it doesn’t work out, I’m blaming JD. You better be careful, JD. He’s going to turn his plane around and get the hell out of here,” he joked.
