Donald Trump begins his second state visit to the United Kingdom today, making history as the first sitting US president to be invited for such an occasion twice. The three-day programme, running from 16 to 18 September, is expected to blend regal ceremony with high-stakes diplomacy at a moment of international uncertainty.
The visit will take place under intense scrutiny, as Trump remains a polarising figure in both domestic and global politics. Particular attention centres on the decision for him and the First Lady Melania Trump to stay at Windsor Castle rather than Buckingham Palace, a choice shaped by both renovations and security considerations.
