One update to Potus absence at the climate session :
Stephanie Grisham, asked why he skipped it, said: “The President had
scheduled meetings and bilaterals with Germany and India, so a senior
member of the Administration attended in his stead.”
Subject: Travel Pool 14 - working lunch
A smaller pool was brought into the hall where leaders are having a
working lunch at 2:02 p.m.
Trump was not in his seat when we arrived. Johnson, Macron, Merkel,
Trudeau, Abe and Conte were present. Macron was speaking in French.
Pool was led out a minute later.
At 2:04, pool saw Potus walking down the staircase with Mnuchin and
enter the hall for the lunch. He didn’t say anything.
