Vice President Vance took questions at the end of his remarks at the hangar.

On Russia:

"I believe the president is growing incredibly impatient with the Russians right now because he doesn't feel like they're putting enough on the table to end the war."

"If the Russians refuse to negotiate in good faith, I think it's going to be very, very bad for their country. That's what the President made clear. It's not a shift in position. It's an acknowledgement of the reality on the ground.”

On Jimmy Kimmel:

"Well, look on the free speech conversation. I'm pretty sure that Jimmy Kimmel was back on the air last night, and to the extent that he's not back on the air, it's because he's not funny and has terrible ratings. This is not a federal government problem."

At the conclusion of the Q&A and remarks, Vance returned to the plane at 2:56 pm and has boarded for DC.
