SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Vice President Mile Pence is cutting short his trip to Latin America so he can join the president at a meeting on South Asia strategy.

The White House announced Wednesday that Pence would be traveling to Camp David with the president on Friday to meet with the White House national security team.

Pence had originally been scheduled to return home Friday afternoon. Instead, he’ll be leaving late Thursday.

Pence is still scheduled to travel to Panama, where he will meet with the country’s president and tour the newly enlarged Panama canal before returning to Washington.

  1. So he’s supposed to ram something down Donald’s pie hole when he goes off script and starts spouting BS again?

  2. Sounds like someone needs to be talked out of starting a nuclear war.

  3. Mattis: “Mike, we need you home early. We have a meeting on Friday at Camp David and I need you there.”
    Veep: “Jim, what’s the big deal? You and Kelly can handle this meeting.”
    Mattis: Orangutan (secret service code name) has gone full Stranglove and if we can’t bring him back to earth will need you here to invoke Operation 25."

  4. I thought he only went to South America to set up a Nazi relocation program. I guess he completed his mission earlier than expected.

    Boy, is he going to be surprised when he learns they all have extradition treaties with the U.S.
