US President Donald Trump has touched down in the UK for his second-ever state visit, turning royal tradition into a golden opportunity for tech, trade, and diplomatic deals 🤝👑.
It’s a three-day whirlwind of pomp, pageantry, and potential partnerships. Late Tuesday, Trump landed in London and spent the night at the US ambassador’s residence, making history as the first foreign leader ever to be granted two state visits to the UK.
This double invite sends a clear message: Britain wants to deepen ties with the US in areas like nuclear energy, finance, defence, and especially cutting-edge technology and trade 🛰💼.
In a standout Oval Office moment, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pulled King Charles III’s invitation from his pocket and handed it to Trump live on camera, sealing the deal amid friendly tariff talks.
“It’s almost crude, but that’s how soft power works,” says Evie Aspinall, director of the British Foreign Policy Group. “Trump’s long-standing affinity for the royal family gives the UK an edge.”
The first full day promises blockbuster scenes: a carriage procession at Windsor Castle with King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate; a wreath-laying at Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb; a RAF and US jet flypast ✈️; and a grand state banquet to cap it off.
With tradition and tech side by side, all eyes are on new UK–US partnerships—and maybe a few royal selfies along the way 📸👑.
