JD Vance heckled while meeting troops from the National Guard in Washington DC

US vice-president JD Vance and other upper members of the Trump administration were heckled while they met Washington DC troops.

Vance, with the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the deputy chief of staff of the White House, Stephen Miller, visited the troops on Wednesday at Union Station, the largest DC railway center.

The demonstrators shouted in the trio to leave the city, some crying “DC Libre” and “Palestine Libre”.

President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard in the capital on August 11, when he undertook to rage against crime and homeless in the city.
