How Lammy and Vance’s unlikely friendship is being leveraged

David Lammy, the UK justice secretary and deputy prime minister, met with JD Vance, the US vice president, at the White House to discuss the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Their friendship began when Lammy was an opposition MP and Vance had just been elected to the Senate. Last summer, Lammy hosted Vance and his family at Chevening, strengthening their ties. These meetings come as the UK Prime Minister criticizes Donald Trump's statements regarding Iran.
