U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in Britain for his second state visit, greeted with royal pageantry and political tension. The three-day visit includes a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle by King Charles III, a state banquet, and talks with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers.
Washington says more than $10 billion in trade and defense deals will be announced, covering technology, civil nuclear energy, and defense cooperation. U.S. officials call the visit a showcase of the “special relationship” and a platform for new investment between the two countries.
The trip comes as protests unfold in London and Windsor. A new Ipsos poll shows 61% of Britons dislike Trump, though nearly half support the visit going ahead.
Starmer faces his own challenges after dismissing Lord Mandelson over alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein, a scandal that risks overshadowing the carefully managed diplomacy.
Analysts say Trump relishes the royal treatment but warn that the visit may be more about symbolism and ego than substance. Europe, meanwhile, watches closely as both sides reaffirm ties amid uncertainty over Ukraine, trade, and global security.
