I think for a lot of American people there's a lot of uncertainty, and a lot of people are scared, and it was amazing to feel like they'd been heard."Molly also received some comments accusing her of a PR stunt."We definitely didn't do that at all," she says. "If we were that clever we would have done something before now."Allow Google YouTube content?This article contains content provided by Google YouTube.

"We could've done something much more extravagant… leaving is the most peaceful way of protest in some way."PA MediaVice-President Vance's trip included several official engagementsJD Vance and his family were in the Cotswolds for their summer break away from Washington DC.The trip included several official engagements, meetings and visits to cultural sites.You can follow BBC Oxfordshire on Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram.
