JD Vance mixes diplomacy and fishing on UK trip
US Vice President JD Vance, in a magnificent house in the south of London, had official meetings with British Foreign Minister David Lammy and fished.
The global economy was on the agenda for Israel’s war in Gaza and Russia’s full -scale occupation of Ukraine.
Asking questions from journalists before the talks, Vance discussed his decision to recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel accepts a ceasefire in Gaza.
“Considering the lack of a functional government there” he said he was not sure what such a recognition means.
When Trump was asked whether Israel was open to invasion of the Gaza City, Vance said he would not have such conversations.
“If it was easy to bring peace to that region of the world, it would be done anyway,” he said.
The meeting is trying to reach the appropriate conditions for steel and aluminum exports to the United Kingdom, and the two sides solve the details of a wider trade agreement announced at the end of June.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a statement on Thursday that he hoped to meet with US President Donald Trump next week, and comments on the day before Trump’s last delivery date of Moscow to end the war in Ukraine about 3.5 years.
While Trump focused on bilateral talks with Putin, the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other European leaders stressed that Ukraine should be part of any negotiations in ending the war.
The meeting took place in Chevening, a 400 -year -old mansion surrounded by a 3000 -acre garden, which serves as the official country residence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Approximately two dozen protesters were detected on the road before returning to the magnificent house.

Lammy told the Guardian newspaper that two men could establish a relationship with their “dysfunctional” working class childhood and saw Vance as a “friend ..
After spending a few days at Chevening, Vance and his family will go to Cotswolds, which has become popular among rich American tourists because of the old villages, stone huts and rural rural areas returning to the old England.
Vance’s trip will include donations collection, visits to cultural sites and museums, and meeting US troops.
According to British media organizations, Vance and his family reportedly rented a house in the village of Charbury, 19 kilometers west of Oxford.
“This region is very stylish, Plum said Plum Sykes, a socialist.
“If you want to be in super warm, super -social cotswolds, you will go here… There was this mass migration from America to Cotswolds. Americans cannot overcome the charm. Then power and money attract power and money.”
