Vice President Mike Pence sidestepped questions on Tuesday about the ongoing infighting that has plagued the West Wing, and instead praised President Trump for his “strong leadership” and for embracing the strength of the U.S. “without apology.”

“Our administration, now seven months old, has seen America restored — more than 1 million jobs at home,” Pence said Tuesday during a news conference with Argentine President Mauricio Macri. “But also, what the world has seen under President Donald Trump is an American president who is once again embracing our historic role as leader of the free world without apology.”
