He noted that the president is protecting American interests while simultaneously promoting the free flow of capital and energy in global markets. He also maintained that the administration\u2019s actions were rational decisions based on the circumstances, rather than an irresponsible gamble.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">These comments continue a theme Vance has pursued relentlessly since taking office. In early remarks to entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, he argued that decades of globalization and excessive caution had left American innovation languishing.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">As one of the administration&#8217;s leading voices on economic and technology policy, Vance often highlights President Trump&#8217;s willingness to upend the status quo as the defining quality distinguishing this administration from its predecessors.
