Overview

• Air Force One touched down at Stansted as President Trump and First Lady Melania began an unprecedented second UK state visit, with an overnight stay in London ahead of Wednesday’s Windsor program.
• Wednesday’s schedule at Windsor Castle features a carriage procession, guard of honour, a wreath‑laying at Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb, a joint flypast by UK and US F‑35s, and a state banquet with speeches by King Charles III and the president.
• On Thursday at Chequers, Trump and Prime Minister Keir Starmer will hold talks and a press conference, with both sides expected to unveil a tech partnership and civil‑nuclear agreements valued by reports at more than $10 billion, alongside discussions on tariffs and wider security issues.
• Police have mounted one of Britain’s largest security operations with drones, marine units and extensive deployments following the killing of Charlie Kirk, while Trump will travel mainly by helicopter and avoid central London.
• Large protests organized by the Stop Trump Coalition are planned in London and Windsor, the visit bypasses a parliamentary address due to Commons recess, and the trip follows the sacking of UK ambassador Peter Mandelson over Epstein‑related emails as scrutiny of Trump’s Epstein links resurfaces.
