Subject: Out of town pool report # 2 — Sanders AF1 gaggle
POTUS is in the air and should be arriving here at Shannon Airport shortly.
Meantime, we just had a brief on the record gaggle with Sarah Sanders in the press cabin regarding the potential tariffs on Mexico that, she said, are still set to take effect tomorrow.
“Our position hasn’t changed,” she said. “Tariffs are going to take effect on Monday.”
She did note that the talks have been positive.
“They’ve made a lot of progress,” she said. “The meetings have gone well but as of now we’re still on track for tariffs on Monday.”
Sanders said POTUS Had not spoken with AMLO “as of earlier today” and has been getting updates from Secretary Pompeo and VPOTUS Pence.
On another topic:
Incidentally, while pool was holding at the airport this morning, a tweet surfaced that seemed to show POTUS, dressed in golf attire, with local schoolchildren.

Pool, which was staying in Limerick an hour away from Doonbeg, was not advised of any informal or unscheduled events or movements.
We’re told the image was taken in the golf course and that POTUS never left the club.
Now awaiting Marine One arrival. More to come...
