|September 18, 2025
US PRESIDENT Donald Trump arrived in Britain on Tuesday for an unprecedented second state visit, with the UK government rolling out a royal red carpet welcome to win over the mercurial leader.
-
“A lot of things here warm my heart,” the 79-year-old Republican told reporters after he arrived with First Lady Melania Trump. “It’s a very special place.”
King Charles III was due to host Trump at Windsor Castle for a lavish banquet and carriage ride yesterday, before Trump met Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his country residence today.
In a sign of the pomp and pageantry to come, a guard of honour greeted the Trumps as they stepped off Air Force One at Stansted Airport near London.
Trump then expressed his admiration for the British monarch.
“He's been a friend of mine for a long time, and everyone respects him, and they love him,’ Trump said as he arrived by helicopter at Winfield House, the US ambassador's residence in London, where he will spend the night.
