February 4, 2026
Vice President JD Vance is heading overseas to lead President Donald Trump’s delegation to the 2026 Winter Olympics. Afterward, Vance plans stops in Armenia and Azerbaijan in a show of support for an agreement the two nations signed at the White House last year aimed at ending decades of conflict between them. On the weeklong trip, Vance will be fulfilling two traditional roles for American vice presidents: representing the U.S. at a ceremonial function, and advancing U.S. foreign policy aims.
