US President Donald Trump received a ceremonial welcome on Wednesday as he began his historic second state visit to the United Kingdom. At Windsor Castle, King Charles III hosted the American leader for an elaborate state banquet where Trump delivered a memorable toast.
During his address, Trump expressed gratitude to England and made a bold claim about the two nations' historical impact, stating, "Together we've done more good for humanity than any two countries in all of history." He further emphasized that both nations should "continue to stand for the values and the people of the English-speaking world."

Trump holds the distinction of being the only US President and global leader to receive the honor of a second UK state visit. During the evening festivities, he joked about this achievement: "This was the second state visit, and that's the first, and maybe that's going to be the last time, I hope it is actually."
The presidential visit featured extraordinary pageantry, including what officials described as the largest guard of honor in recent memory—comprising 120 horses and 1,300 troops—along with carriage processions, an aerial display, and the formal Windsor Castle dinner.
The state dinner took place against a backdrop of trade tensions resulting from Trump's America First policies.
Following the banquet, Trump traveled to Chequers where UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria welcomed him.
Coinciding with the visit, Britain announced that American companies had committed to 150 billion pounds ($204 billion) in UK investments, with investment firm Blackstone pledging 90 billion pounds ($122 billion) over the coming decade. The investment flow will be bidirectional, including pharmaceutical company GSK's nearly $30 billion commitment to the US.
The leaders are set to sign a "tech prosperity deal" that British officials claim will generate thousands of jobs and billions in investments across artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and nuclear energy sectors.
During Trump's visit, protesters in Windsor projected images linking Trump with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein onto a castle tower, resulting in four arrests according to police. Additionally, thousands of demonstrators marched through London in protest of Trump's visit, carrying banners with messages such as "No to the racism, no to Trump".
