After the royal pomp, Trump's state visit turns to politics and a meeting with Starmer

After the pomp, it's time for the politics.

- 

President Donald Trump will meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday, the final day of the U.S. leader›s state visit to Britain, with tech investment, steel tariffs and potentially tricky topics on the agenda.

The president and first lady Melania Trump were feted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Wednesday at Windsor Castle with all the pageantry the monarchy can muster: gold-trimmed carriages, scarlet-clad soldiers, artillery salutes and a glittering banquet in a grand ceremonial hall.

British officials have festooned the trip with the kind of superlatives Trump revels in: It's an "unprecedented" second state visit for the U.S. leader, featuring the biggest military honor guard ever assembled for such an occasion.
