Diplomacy: Fishing with JD Vance without appearance: Lammy shows himself

It was a symbol of the transatlantic friendship despite political differences: When British Foreign Minister David Lammy received the US Vice President JD Vance at his country’s office in Chevering Kent in the county last week, the two men were photographed while fishing together.

So far, so good, but Lammy had no fishing license, as it turns out. “The Foreign Minister wrote to the environmental authority because of an administrative failure that resulted in the fact that the fishing on a private lake at a diplomatic event in Chevering House had not been caught up with the necessary licenses last week,” said the Foreign Ministry.

In Great Britain, fishing slips are mandatory for anglers from the age of 13. Lammy immediately acquired the license when he found out about the failure, the statement said.

“Not Welcome Party” for JD Vance

It was initially unclear whether Lammy has to expect a fine and whether it plays a role that he did not have a fishing luck and does not bite anything, as Vance had announced. A spokesman for the environmental authority said, as far as one knew, the necessary licenses have been acquired.

The deputy of US President Donald Trump is currently spending his family vacation in the English landscape of Cotswold, which is known for her picturesque villages. Not everyone likes that. At a protest event, residents of the Cotswolds took their displeasure over the visit from overseas. With slogans like “Go home!” And “JD vance asham!” Around a hundred people celebrated a “not welcome party” in the town of Charlbury, as the “Guardian” reported.
