Hi,

Pool Report #3: Vietnam call read out

?Judd Deere passes along the following call readout:

"Today, President Donald J. Trump spoke with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc of Vietnam. The two leaders welcomed the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations, and agreed that the United States-Vietnam Comprehensive Partnership is stronger than ever. President Trump raised concerns regarding the trade deficit and urged Prime Minister Phuc to take bold steps to ensure fair and reciprocal trade between the United States and Vietnam."

In town Pool Report #4: POTUS video

?Pool has not seen the president in person today, but you have no doubt seen the pre-recorded, 4-minute video that he posted to his Twitter account "asking Congress" to amend the stimulus legislation and send him a "suitable bill, or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID-relief package."

I've asked the White House for additional information. Will let you know if we receive further comment on his activities today.

In Town Pool Report #5: travel/photo lid

?The White House at 8:36 pm called a travel/photo lid for the day. Have a good rest of your evening, everyone.
