Pool entered the Oval at 1:48pm.
The president is sitting at the Resolute Desk surrounded by men who include Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the President and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, Jeff Freeman, the chair of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, and executives from American Airlines, MGM resorts, Hilton, IHG Hotels, and others.
The message of this gathering is that tourism and travel to America is “thriving.” POTUS: “This is a summer that showed the world America is back.”
