Air Force One lands this afternoon on British territory at Stansten Airport. US President Donald Trump is welcomed by US Ambassador to the United Kingdom Woren Stevens and, on behalf of King, Henry Hund, 8th Viscount Hood, Lord-in-Waiting (King’s personal follower and honorary title).

Donald Trump’s official visit to the country will take less than 48 hours, while the heavy program will begin tomorrow Wednesday, with the royal family preparing a magnificent reception. On Thursday is Trump’s meeting with Keith Starmer in Checkers, the British Prime Minister’s country house and will again cross the Atlantic.

“Another look another is”

It is a fact that both countries have a lot of problems inside: the removal of the British ambassador to the United States, Lord Mendelsso, a few days ago, the murder of Trump’s ardent supporter and friend, Charlie Kerk and of course the pressures of the two leaders.

According to the BBC and what a former British Ambassador said, whose name is not revealed, “in terms of values ​​and policies we have fundamental differences with the Trump government for NATO, Ukraine, the Middle East, China,”

But one cannot argue that this is a great diplomatic moment. It is noted that it is Donald Trump’s second official visit to the United Kingdom, while the first was in 2019, while only two other US presidents have been invited to the country, in 2003 George Bush and in 2011 Barack Obama.

Thus, many perceive this visit as an opportunity for Britain. Whitehall’s source told the BBC that “we focus very much on the visual, the historic moment, the majesty. For Trump everything is TV and that’s a very good TV. ” Another source even acknowledged that “it is a theater, it is a show, it is not that we will reach a substance, a deeper level. We are making the most powerful man in the world for good reason. “

The Agenda of the British Prime Minister

Whatever the case, the British side is trying to take advantage of the official visit. Kir Starmer hopes for new investment opportunities and partnerships, but also of the exclusion of the country from duties. This will calm down the spirits that want him out of the government steering wheel before the end of his term of office and will enter the trajectory of his development plan.

It has already been known that the two leaders will sign a new deal on nuclear power for non -military purposes, and the focus will also find a broader collaboration of technological interest with Silicon Valley.

At the same time, it is analyzed by the British press as Starmer’s opportunity to influence Trump’s attitude at the United Nations General Assembly in New York in a week from now. As Jeremy Hunt, who was a foreign minister on the first visit of the US president, said in 2019, “is a key opportunity () as Trump seems to be moving away from Putin and realizes that he must stand a little better on the side of his European partners.”

Demonstrations and “dislike” of British

The British people, on the other hand, look at the American president differently. Yougov poll in July showed that only 16% of Britons have a positive view of Trump. Tomorrow Wednesday, demonstrations are expected in London with the slogan “Trump is not welcome”. The organizer is the “Stop Trump” initiative, which had made similar demonstrations in Scotland when Trump visited this summer.
