Pool was ushered out of the meeting at 2:40 p.m., after a nine-minute spray. Vance was in a blue suit and red tie. Lammy was in a blue suit and blue patterned tie, so they had changed since fishing. Both took questions. More quotes to come, but to start: Vance on UK recognizing Palestinian state: “It’s one of the things we’re going to talk about. Obviously, the United Kingdom is going to make its decision. We have n…

The official bilateral meeting has not started yet. But ahead of the meeting, Vance and Lammy just went carp finishing in the pond behind Chevening House. However, no fish were caught. “They were both in a very good mood about it,” an official with knowledge of the fishing expedition told your pooler. A Reuters photographer was invited to capture the outing. Your pooler saw an initial photo filed and the two men app…

I’m fixing a previous quote I sent from Trump’s Purple Heart remarks. (It’s difficult to pick up all the words correctly in there.) The quote should be: "Gerald, John and Thomas, I want to thank you very much. What a great honor to get those Purple Hearts. I guess in a certain way, it wasn't that easy for me either, when you think of it, but you went through a lot more than I did. And I appreciate it all very much."…

After Moore’s presentation, President Trump walked over to his desk and held up a chart that he said best displays the BLS jobs situation. He took a few questions on Putin and Zelenskyy. Is your deadline for Putin still standing? Trump: “We’re going to see what he has to say. That’s going to be up to him.” Does Putin have to meet with Zelenskyy for you and Putin to meet? Trump: “No.” Asked again, Trump said: “No he…
