3:03Now PlayingTrump's UK Trip Kicks Off With Pomp, Business Set for Thursday
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe president and First Lady Melania Trump arrived by Marine One in the early afternoon to be greeted by King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine with a royal salute. The group was quickly swept into horse-drawn carriages for a procession along a color guard-lined route to the castle.
The gilded Irish Stage Coach that the king and Trump rode in is customarily used for the State Opening of Parliament and was also used for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding, underscoring the scope of the British charm offensive. The first lady, wearing a distinctive wide-brimmed hat in maroon, followed with the queen in a second coach. Trump, with Charles trailing slightly behind, walked through the Windsor quadrangle to inspect the troops, and a 41-gun salute and bagpipes echoed across the courtyard. Later, the party is expected to witness a military display, including a flyover of US and UK F-35 aircraft, before a white-tie evening banquet featuring speeches from Trump and the king.
It will be the largest honor guard ever for a UK state visit. In total, 120 horses and 1,300 members of the British military will be involved in the ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle. The day of pageantry will be followed by a day of diplomatic meetings with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in which the UK hopes to press Trump on trade terms and the war in Ukraine, though major breakthroughs are not expected. The UK, for example, has shelved talks aimed at eliminating tariffs on British steel, scaling back its goals of bringing the levies on steel to zero, according to a person familiar with the matter.
