Donald Trump arrived in the United Kingdom on the evening of September 16, 2025. Information about his visit was confirmed by major international media, including Reuters and Sky News.
Trump’s Visit to the United Kingdom
This is already the second state visit of the American president to the country. It is planned to sign investment agreements during the visit. Ahead of Trump’s arrival, key figures such as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves announced the creation of a “Transatlantic Working Group” that will facilitate deeper cooperation.
Meetings and Events
On September 17, Trump will meet with King Charles III at Windsor Castle. On this day, Trump and his wife Melania are also scheduled to participate in a royal ceremony, where a carriage parade, banquet, and so on are expected. The importance of these events contributes to the atmosphere of the official visit.
Later that same day, Trump will visit Chequers to discuss investment issues, as well as situations in the steel market and international security issues. Opposition leader Keir Starmer described the meeting as a “historic opportunity” for the confluence of circumstances affecting global stability.
Political Misunderstandings
Despite the senior partner’s initiatives, there are disagreements. For example, print publications report Trump’s disagreement with the British government regarding support for Ukraine. However, not all of Trump’s criticisms find support and understanding among his political colleagues. This is related to the opinion of the insufficient toughness of the American president towards Russia.
Protests and Public Opinion
Parallel to Trump’s visit, protests are taking place in the country. The “Stop Trump” coalition plans a series of rallies, accusing the US president of human rights violations both in his country and worldwide. Participants expressed dissatisfaction that the government is welcoming a president responsible for threats to democratic foundations.
Commenting on the upcoming protests, coalition representative Jake Atkinson noted: “Protesters are sharply against Trump and his policies,” adding that the red carpet for him is unacceptable.
Provocations Against Trump
The events are also accompanied by some actions of discontent, including the use of technology. On the eve, four people were arrested for projecting images of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein on the walls of Windsor Castle. These actions prompted reactions from the police, who are considering the detainees on charges of spreading unwanted information.
Police emphasized the importance of quick response to such incidents, calling them unacceptable in the context of what is happening in the castle area. The department’s leadership urged caution in organizing such actions.
Thus, the presidential visit to the United Kingdom became an important milestone in the bilateral relations of the two countries, but also revealed significant public discontent, including in the context of current international conflicts and political disagreements.
