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 formally received President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle, with an honor guard of about 1,300 service members and roughly 120 horses in the largest such welcome in recent memory.
  • Thames Valley Police said four people were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications after images of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto a Windsor Castle tower.
  • Police Superintendent Felicity Parker said officers responded quickly to halt the projection, and an investigation is underway.
  • Led By Donkeys shared imagery of the projection, which included a letter purportedly from Trump to Epstein that Democratic lawmakers publicized days earlier and the White House has denied as false.
  • Thousands demonstrated in central London under the Stop Trump banner, as the U.K. highlighted roughly £31 billion in U.S. tech investment tied to the visit and set a Thursday meeting for Trump and Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers.
