Overview

• Trump and First Lady Melania arrived Tuesday night; today’s Windsor program features military honors, a carriage procession confined to the castle grounds, a flypast, a state banquet and an overnight stay.
• Police made arrests after activists projected images linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle, and larger demonstrations are planned in London today.
• Thursday’s meeting at Chequers with Prime Minister Keir Starmer is slated to include business talks, with officials trailing a technology prosperity pact and major U.S. investment pledges, while reports say hoped-for relief from U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs is not forthcoming.
• Senior U.S. tech executives are reported in the delegation, including OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
• Trump is the first U.S. president invited to two U.K. state visits, as the visit proceeds under reputational pressure from recent Epstein-linked revelations that led to the dismissal of ambassador Peter Mandelson.
