Part 2/4:
The event, meant to serve as a casual and friendly bonding experience, was captured in photos showing Lammy casting a line alongside Vance. However, it came to light that Lammy lacked the proper fishing license necessary for legal angling activities in the area. This oversight appears to be an administrative lapse rather than an intentional breach.
JD Vance's Light-Hearted Remarks
Vice President JD Vance joked about the incident, lightening the mood surrounding the licensing issue. He remarked that the only tension between the United States and the United Kingdom was related to the fish—his three children had caught fish, but British Foreign Minister Lammy had not managed to bring any fish to shore. The comments added a humorous touch to an otherwise formal situation.
