VP travel pool report #2: Fishing

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 appeared to be sharing a laugh as the vice president held a fishing pole. The rest of pool was not allowed to watch.

In the photo, Vance was wearing jeans and a dark blue button down shirt, and the foreign secretary was in a short-sleeved button down shirt.

Pool is still in a holding room for the meeting. We have been told it’s unlikely they will answer questions.
