Trump arrives in UK for historic visit: What does the British government expect?

US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived in the United Kingdom late on Tuesday for a historic two-day state visit that will see the US leader hosted with royal pomp by King Charles III at Windsor Castle before talks with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Euronews writes.

The state visit is the second for the US president.

It also comes complete with horse-drawn carriages, military honour guards, and a glittering banquet inside a 1,000-year-old castle for the Trumps.

“It’s the first time this has ever happened, someone was honoured twice. It is a great honour. And this was at Windsor, and they’ve never used Windsor castle for this before, usually it’s Buckingham Palace,” Trump said in what he described as “a great honour” upon his arrival.

The British government hopes a multibillion-dollar technology deal will show the trans-Atlantic bond remains strong despite differences over Ukraine, the Middle East and the future of the Western alliance.
