While Donald Trump is in the United Kingdom meeting with prime minister Keir Starmer and the King of England, the highest-ranking U-S official on American soil is Vice President JD Vance. The visit came one week after conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered by a gunman in Utah. Vance shouted out Kirk for his embodiment of conservative values and success in attracting youth into the Republican party. Main talking points also centered around President Trump’s economic policy and deployments of the National Guard. Vance said the White House’s economic policies will make things cheaper for families.
