The motorcade arrived at POTUS RON at midnight. Fairly uneventful drive. It’s late here in Italy but there were a few huddles of spectators along the route watching the motorcade go by and taking videos as we got into the heart of the city. POTUS told us on AF1 earlier that he is “taking pictures with the military tonight, when we get to the house at 12 o’clock.” Also, we got the list of AF1 greeters from the White…

AF1 touched down at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Rome at 10:54 p.m. CEST.

POTUS, who had abandoned his bright blue tie for his visit, was joined by Susie Wiles, Steven Cheung and Mike Waltz. Pool learned — after transcribing and typing up this very detailed pool n…

POTUS stepped off of M1 at 9:19 a.m. with FLOTUS. He's wearing a bright blue tie. FLOTUS is in a long tan trench coat and wearing sunglasses. Pool called him over for questions and he simply pointed toward the back of the plane, perhaps indicating we'll get an in-flight gaggle. He was up the stairs and inside AF1 at 9:20 a.m. Will send another note when we are wheels up and then will see you on the other side.
