MILWAUKEE -- J.D. Vance, former U.S. President Donald Trump's running mate for November's election, told the Republican convention on Wednesday night that their administration would commit to workers, not Wall Street, and that American interests will be the top foreign policy priority.

Vance, a senator from Ohio, said that China must not be allowed to build its economy to the detriment of Americans, and that allies must do their part for global security.
