US President Trump arrived in Britain on the evening of 16th, opening his second state visit to Britain.

This is the second time that Trump has been invited to make a state visit to the United Kingdom as the president of the United States, his first visit was during his first term in 2019. Behind the gorgeous ranks and careful ceremonies, the British government hopes to use the opportunity to solidify British-American relations, fight for economic interests, but also to face the pressure from the domestic public opinion, the UK's former ambassador to the United States Mandelson incident and British-American policy differences in the conflict in Russia and the Middle East issues.

According to reports, Trump will be the first U.S. president to make a state visit to Britain twice. As usual, if the U.S. president visits Britain again after his first state visit, he will usually only have a tea party or lunch with the British monarch. The U.S. media said that the British government hopes to keep in touch with the Trump administration through this visit to mitigate the adverse impact of some U.S. policy on Britain.

The Guardian summarized the five topics that Trump¡¯s visit focused on: investment, Ukraine, the Palestinian issue, immigration and freedom of speech, and Epstein.

According to the New York Times, Trump and Mrs. Melania began their official visit on 17th, and they will receive the reception of King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the Castle of Windsor, England, including a great welcome ceremony, such as ringing guns, horse cruise, and watching the Royal Air Force's "Red Arrow" flight performance, the flight performance of the American F-35 aircraft and the military band. That evening, the British King will attend a White Crown National Party attended by about 150 guests, when the King will deliver a speech. On 18th, Trump will travel to the village of Stammer's official residence, Chickes Villa, where the two will hold a meeting, which may be followed by a joint press conference in the afternoon that evening, the Trump couple will leave the UK.

According to the BBC, Trump¡¯s visit has been narrowed to less than 48 hours. He won¡¯t visit Downing Street 10, speak to Parliament, or even have time to play a golf ball. However, in order to make Trump feel the specification of ¡°the full set of state visits¡±, the British government has further expanded the scale of the ceremony: mobilizing 1,300 soldiers and 120 horses, far more than this year¡¯s French President Macron¡¯s visit to the UK. There are British officials who say that all arrangements are for ¡°visual effects¡± because for Trump, everything is all about television broadcasting. There are experts who say, ¡°Trump loves monarchy and royal family, which is a potential diplomatic sign for the British government.¡±

Preparations have begun months ago to make sure that the details are perfect.The BBC said that the royal family and government officials have spent a lot of time thinking about the dinner menu, the King¡¯s seven-minute speech, seating arrangements, and music choices, and one of the royal family¡¯s insiders said: ¡°The seating arrangements at the party are very careful, and people with specific policy positions will sit together.¡±

According to Reuters, the British police have planned comprehensive police and security operations for Trump¡¯s visit. Britain says it is preparing for Trump¡¯s state visit, the largest security operation since the coronation of King Charles III in 2023, and is currently preparing for all possible events for Trump¡¯s 16th visit, and cooperating with the U.S. Secret Service. Britain will conduct large-scale operations, deploy drones, snipers, cavalry, etc., to protect Trump strictly, without leaving any possible shooting space. At the same time, there will be a large number of police and specialists waiting to respond to possible protests.

According to the Wall Street Journal, British officials have acknowledged that the deal with Trump is full of variations.Potential differences include the British government may recognize a Palestinian state in the coming weeks, but the U.S. has a different attitude, and Mandela has been withdrawn from office because of his relationship with the notorious Epstein. The BBC said that the dismissal of Mandela has put a layer of diplomatic shadow on the U.S. negotiation process. On Ukraine, Stammer has had numerous telephone conversations and talks with Trump, but he has so far failed to bring Trump closer to the European position on this issue.

The Guardian that the crisis was further deepened on the eve of Trump¡¯s visit to Britain, with three senior assistants leaving office in just two weeks, putting into question the stability of the Stammer government. At the same time, some Labour lawmakers in power also believed that Stammer¡¯s reaction to the previous anti-immigration demonstrations in London was too weak. The Times said officials believed that Stammer¡¯s inappropriate handling of Mandelson¡¯s case seemed to have been destined to be forced to resign. Stammer hoped through this visit to re-focus on his economic and foreign policy issues and alleviate dissatisfaction from within the Labour Party.

According to the BBC, a poll showed that 16 percent of UK respondents expressed a positive view of Trump. Britain¡¯s ¡°Stop the Trump Alliance¡± announced it was scheduled to organize a large-scale protest on 17th to demonstrate British people¡¯s opposition to the hatred and division brought by the Trump administration. When Trump visited Scotland at the end of July, it sparked local protests.

However, the British government is still hoping to leverage some practical outcomes from this visit. Stammer isly hoping to please Trump by showing up the grand show and ceremonies and persuade him to lower the UK¡¯s steel and aluminum tariffs. The United States agreed on car tariffs early in June this year, but the details of the steel and aluminum tariffs have not yet been determined. Senior U.S. officials have revealed that as part of the state visit, the United Kingdom plans to announce a total of more than $10 billion economic agreement this week to strengthen cooperation in the fields of technology, financial services, artificial intelligence and nuclear energy.
