Departure Statement and Expectations
LOS ANGELES, April 10 (Reuters) - Vice President JD Vance said on Friday he was looking forward to having positive negotiations with Iran as he left for talks in Pakistan with a warning to Tehran not to "play us."

"We're looking forward to the negotiation. I think it's going to be positive," Vance told reporters before leaving Washington.
