Reference News Network, August 7 report - According to the UK's The Guardian website on August 6, the team of US Vice President Vance took unusual measures by changing the outflow of a lake in Ohio to facilitate the Vance family's recent boat vacation.
According to a statement from the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Secret Service requested this, in order to "ensure safe navigation" for an outing on the Little Miami River in August for Vice President Vance's security task force.
According to social media posts, on August 2, Vance's 41st birthday, he was seen in the southwestern region of Ohio, where he was seen paddling a canoe on a tributary of Cezar Creek Lake.
The report said that insiders stated that the request to release water from Cezar Creek Lake was not only to support the Secret Service security team for the vice president, but also to create "ideal conditions for kayaking."
This news has raised questions: at a time when the Trump administration has cut billions of dollars in funding for foreign aid, scientific research, and government jobs to improve "efficiency," could the Vance office be using public infrastructure resources for personal leisure needs?
The office of the US Vice President did not respond to requests for comment. (Translated by Zheng Guoyi)
