According to the British government, a record £150 billion ($205 billion) of investment in the UK will be unveiled in all during Trump's visit, resulting in some 7,600 jobs created across the country — a tally that may go a long way to justify Starmer’s decision to invite the US president, despite broad differences on policy.

Overview

  • King Charles III hosted the president at Windsor in a display that included roughly 1,300 service members and about 120 horses, described as the largest guard of honor in recent memory.
  • Thames Valley Police arrested four people on suspicion of malicious communications after activists projected images of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein onto a Windsor Castle tower, and an investigation is under way.
  • The projection featured a letter about Epstein circulated by Democratic lawmakers and rejected as false by the White House, adding to the controversy around the visit.
  • Thousands demonstrated in central London under Stop Trump banners, with reports of more than 1,600 officers deployed for crowd control and security.
  • UK and US officials highlighted media reports of roughly £31 billion in planned technology and energy investments by firms including Microsoft, Google, Nvidia and OpenAI, with Trump set to meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers to pursue trade, defense and technology cooperation.
