Overview

• The president arrived Tuesday night for a two‑day trip that makes him the only US leader to receive a second UK state visit.
• Royal ceremonies are scheduled inside Windsor on Wednesday, followed by talks at Chequers on Thursday focused on trade protections and Ukraine with a joint press conference planned.
• A heavy security plan keeps the ceremonial program within Windsor as thousands plan protests in London, and the trip is shadowed by Keir Starmer’s dismissal of ambassador Peter Mandelson over Jeffrey Epstein links.
• The UK has announced more than £1 billion in US banking pledges, including £1.1 billion from Citigroup and £150 million from PayPal, which officials say should create about 1,800 jobs across London, Edinburgh, Belfast and Manchester.
• Further agreements are expected at Chequers, with officials flagging a high‑tech partnership and a civil nuclear deal and reports suggesting multi‑billion‑pound US tech investment, with Nvidia and OpenAI leaders among the visiting business delegation.
