Trump Arrives in UK for Unprecedented Second State Visit Focused on Tech and Nuclear Deals

Royal pageantry at Windsor is designed to turn ceremony into concrete deals on technology, tariffs, and civil nuclear energy.

Overview

  • Air Force One landed at Stansted on Tuesday night before Trump and the first lady transferred to central London, with a full Windsor welcome and state banquet set for Wednesday.
  • Downing Street expects a UKUS technology partnership and civil nuclear agreements to be unveiled, with business leaders such as Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and OpenAI’s Sam Altman in the visiting delegation.
  • British officials flagged more than £1.25 billion in new US investment from firms including PayPal and Bank of America, with further AI and data‑center related announcements anticipated.
  • Police mounted a large security operation in Windsor, declared a high threat level, and arrested two men suspected of flying a drone inside a temporary no‑fly zone as mass protests are planned in London and Windsor.
  • The visit follows May’s initial tariff deal and will press for progress on steel and aluminum levies, with talks at Chequers also expected to cover Ukraine and other security issues as the Mandelson–Epstein scandal shadows the optics.
