Vice President Kamala Harris hosted German Chancellor Angela Merkel for breakfast Thursday at her Naval Observatory home, marking the first time she's hosted a foreign leader at the residence.
'We are pleased to welcome you Madam Chancellor and I know we are the fourth administration that you have worked with throughout your extraordinary career. want to thank you for your years of leadership,' Harris told Merkel outside the vice president's residence. 'I’m very proud that I believe that I am the first vice president to host you at the official residence of the vice president,' Harris added.
The home at One Observatory Circle was under renovation when Harris was sworn-in in January, but she's used it more recently to host a staff barbecue following reports of a toxic culture brewing at the VP's office.
