Out-of-town pool report #8 - presser starting

POTUS and Starmer came to their side-by-side podiums in a room close to the entrance of Chequers at 3:09 pm.

They are in a relatively small room, covered with a large rug and adorned with paintings of royals, all stacked fairly close together and close to the ceiling, and wooden arches at the back.

Behind the presidents are UK and US flags. The podiums both say "tech prosperity deal," underscoring the main diplomatic business behind the visit.

Again, presser is airing live.
