Trump arrives for UK state visit, welcomed by king, prince at Windsor Castle

President Donald Trump began his state visit to the U.K. Wednesday by meeting King Charles III at Windsor Castle.

Accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, he attended a ceremonial reception and will join a state banquet with the royal family.

Trump, the first modern-era leader to receive two state visits from a British monarch, is set to meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer Thursday at Chequers, ABC News has reported.

The visit, featuring the largest guard of honor for a U.K. state visit and a joint U.S.-British F-35 flypast, aims to celebrate the U.S.-U.K. “special relationship” and the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States.
