Unlikely Friendship: US VP and UK Foreign Secretary Bond
Tap title to read story
US Vice President JD Vance is enjoying a UK holiday, including a stay with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy at Chevening House. Despite their differing political views (Vance is a Republican, Lammy a Labour MP), the two families have forged a strong friendship, bonding over fishing, shared faith, and difficult childhoods. Their connection is seen as significant in bridging the transatlantic political divide, particularly given the personalized nature of international relations under previous administrations. Vance's UK visit also includes meetings with other UK politicians.
