"US President Donald Trump is due to arrive in the United Kingdom on Tuesday evening at the invitation of King Charles III and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer's office said the visit will show that "the UK-US relationship is the strongest in the world, built on 250 years of history." Senior US officials said on Monday that deals covering energy and technology worth more than $10 billion would be announced. The two countries are expected to sign an agreement to work together on boosting nuclear power."
"On Wednesday, the US president and his wife, Melania, will be treated to British royal pageantry at Windsor Castle. Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine will accompany them on a carriage procession through the estate. A state banquet, a flypast by military aircraft, and a gun salute are also planned. On Thursday, Starmer will host Trump at his Chequers country residence in the southern English countryside. The two leaders are expected to discuss the tariffs on British steel imports to the US."
""I'm there also on trade. They want to see if they can refine the trade deal a little bit," Trump told reporters before taking off on Air Force One. "We've made a deal, and it's a great deal, and I'm into helping them," he added. Starmer might also use the state visit to persuade Trump to impose additional sanctions on Russia."
