U.S. Vice Presiednt JD Vance said on Thursday he would be shocked if President Donald Trump wanted nuclear weapons extending further east into Europe.

Vance was responding to a question about Poland's president calling on the U.S. to transfer nuclear weapons to its territory as a deterrent against future Russian aggression.

"I haven't talked to the President about that particular issue, but I would be shocked if he was supportive of nuclear weapons extending further east into Europe," he said during an interview on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle."
