"With the U.S. reeling in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump headed to the United Kingdom on Tuesday for a long-scheduled state visit. The president is known to be a huge fan of pomp and pageantry, and Britain is eager to deliver. King Charles and Queen Camilla are hosting the Trumps at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, and activities include a horse-drawn carriage procession, military flyovers, and a state banquet."
"On Thursday, Trump will meet Keir Starmer at the prime minister's country residence, Chequers. Trump was hosted for a state visit by Queen Elizabeth II in 2019, and a second visit is an unusual honor. British officials are looking to butter up Trump as they deal with the impact of his trade war and issues related to European security. But Trump remains very unpopular in the U.K.,"
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump traveled to the United Kingdom for a long-scheduled state visit amid U.S. turmoil following the Charlie Kirk assassination. The itinerary included a Windsor Castle reception hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla, a horse-drawn carriage procession, military flyovers, a state banquet, and a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers. The trip represented an unusual second state visit after 2019. British officials sought to smooth relations amid trade disputes and European security concerns. Strong unpopularity prompted protests, including projections linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on Windsor Castle. Historical artifacts and an air-traffic recording were also noted.
