On the second day of his visit, Trump meets with Starmer

The first day featured carriages, troop inspections, and a banquet. After a night spent at Windsor Castle, the second day will be marked by political negotiations. Donald Trump continues his state visit to the United Kingdom this Thursday and will spend most of the day meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer .

The day began with a formal farewell to King Charles at Windsor. "He's a great gentleman and a great King ," the US President declared upon his departure, shaking hands. Trump will now head to Chequers, the British Prime Minister's summer residence, where he will visit Winston Churchill's archives. US First Lady Melania Trump will remain at the royal residence for a visit to Queen Mary's dollhouse and the royal library.

At Chequers, a series of political meetings follow: first, a bilateral meeting with Keir Starmer. Then, they are joined by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves and several American business leaders to finalize the agreement on import tariffs on British steel and a multi-billion-pound investment agreement for technology companies in the UK.

What can Trump and Starmer gain (or lose) from a historic state visit?

Trump and Starmer will have lunch together, and the visit will conclude with a joint press conference —which is already being organized under even tighter security than usual, and during which questions are expected about the dismissal of the British ambassador to the United States over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. This is because Donald Trump has so far remained silent on this sensitive topic.

Later in the day, Melania Trump will meet with the President at Checkers before returning to the United States.
