*Subject:**Travel pool report #6: Presser Over*
The joint presser with POTUS and PM has ended. It was open press for the worlds convenience, but it appears, for now, that a trade crisis has been averted. And the president says that the UK/US relationship is now at the highest level of special.
Also, the president said he does not have high expectations for his meeting on Monday with Putin. As he left, he answered a shouted question from CNNs Jim Acosta, whose network was antagonized repeatedly as fake news during the presser, that he will tell Putin to stay out of US elections.
POTUS is now scheduled to helo back to Winfield House, presumably to collect the First Lady, who spent her afternoon visiting children and lawn bowling with Mrs. Mays husband.
Your pool is heading to vans with an extended pool to get set up for the next leg of our journey: Later this afternoon, the first couple will helo to Windsor Castle for tea with the queen.

Chequers
At 10:59, the Beast rolled in, stark black against the green backdrop of this palatial brick country estate.
POTUS emerged to greet PM May, who stood at the door with her hands clasped behind her back, a smile on her face.
The president at first ignored shouted questions about whether he regretted his comments on Brexit to The Sun, and ignored another about whether or not he would voice his concerns with the PM.
The two nodded, smiled and thanked your pool. Your pool headed inside where POTUS, seated next to the PM, responded indirectly to questions about the Sun report.
The prime minister and I worked very hard together on NATO spending, he said. Its never been more united, POTUS said of this relationship.
On last nights dinner (during which The Sun news broke) POTUS said: We talked for an hour and a half and it was really something.
More to come at the news conference, POTUS says.
