"US President Donald Trump arrived in the United Kingdom late Tuesday 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."
"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."
"In May, London and Washington reached a trade agreement that lowered tariffs on car and aerospace imports to the US, but they were unable to finalize terms for British steel, which remains subject to a 25% tariff. "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."
