US President Donald Trump embarked on an unprecedented second state visit to the UK, hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle. The visit, which began on Tuesday and concluded on Thursday night, was marked by grand ceremonies, royal engagements, and significant political discussions. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were greeted with royal salutes, carriage processions, and a state banquet attended by prominent figures such as media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Apple CEO Tim Cook. The visit also included a private lunch with the Royal Family and a wreath-laying ceremony at St George’s Chapel in honor of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Despite the pageantry, the visit was not without controversy. Anti-Trump protests erupted in Windsor and London, with demonstrators accusing the president of climate denial and human rights violations. The protests included the reappearance of the infamous Trump baby blimp and the projection of images linking Trump to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who extended the invitation for the state visit, met with Trump at Chequers to discuss UK-US trade relations. The visit highlighted the complexities of international diplomacy, blending tradition with modern political tensions.
