Former U.S. President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump commenced a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom, initiated by a royal reception at Windsor Castle. During their visit, the Trumps laid a wreath at the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II.
The itinerary included a reception with King Charles III and Queen Camilla, a horse-drawn carriage procession through the Windsor estate, and a state dinner at the historic castle. This marks Mr. Trump’s second state visit to Britain, a diplomatic event noted as uncommon for an American president. Opinion polls indicated Mr. Trump’s unpopularity in Britain, leading to protests with various anti-Trump placards. Mr. Trump made statements via social media alleging a “weaponized justice system” concerning federal investigations in the U.S., but remained publicly silent on British politics, unlike his 2019 visit. The visit included an overnight stay at Windsor Castle and a scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
