Pool Report #2 — meeting begins

After a one hour delay, the pool has now been led into the state dining room. We’ve been given translation headsets to listen in as the conversation will apparently involve several different languages.

President Trump is sitting in the middle of the table. Jamieson Greer and Stephen Miller are to his left. Massad Boulos is to his right. Among others.

The White House passed along the following names of leaders visiting today:

Gabon – President Nguema

Senegal – President Faye

Liberia – President Boakai

Guinea-Bissau – President Embalo

Mauritania – President Ghazouani

More to come.
