US President Donald Trump landed in Britain on Tuesday for an unprecedented second state visit at the invitation of King Charles III.
Air Force One touched down at Stansted airport near London at 9:07 pm (2007 GMT). On the way, Trump told journalists the visit was “going to be a very big thing.”
The MAGA chief is the first US leader to be invited for two state visits. His first was in 2019 when Queen Elizabeth II hosted him. Security is tight, and his schedule avoids central London where large protests have been called.
Several dozen demonstrators gathered near Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening, holding anti-Trump signs, Palestinian flags and chanting slogans.
The UK government is hoping the royal pageantry will strengthen ties. Officials plan to highlight an “unbreakable friendship” as both nations sign agreements worth £10 billion covering nuclear and technology projects.
Trump is also expected to meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday at his country residence. The meeting comes as Starmer faces criticism at home over his choice of former envoy Peter Mandelson, whose ties to Jeffrey Epstein have raised questions.
Trump, too, is under scrutiny for past links to Epstein.
