Shkruar nga PamfletiBritain did its utmost to woo and flatter the unpredictable US president with an extraordinary display of pomp and grandeur, while trying to keep him on its side during a series of international crises. The military welcome was even greater than when Queen Elizabeth II welcomed Trump on his first state visit in 2019.
A £150 billion investment package from the United States was announced yesterday, as part of President Donald Trump's state visit to the United Kingdom. It is the largest deal of its kind, according to the British government, which described it as a historic development in the trading relationship between the two countries, reports the BBC.
According to British authorities, the agreement is expected to bring 7,600 new "high-quality" jobs in various sectors of the economy.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said it was evidence of the fulfilment of his promise of "jobs, growth and opportunity".
However, the figure still remains modest compared to the 160,000 jobs lost last year.
This agreement comes immediately after another big news from the technology sector, where giants like Microsoft and Google announced new investments in billions of pounds for the British economy, also as part of Trump's visit.
Trump and his wife Melania were welcomed by King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and the Princess of Wales, Kate, at Windsor Castle as they disembarked from the Marine One helicopter.
As the president shook hands with the King, a 41-gun salute was fired simultaneously from six World War I-era cannons on the castle's east lawn, while a similar display took place at the Tower of London, in the centre of the capital.
About 120 horses and 1,300 members of the British military took part in the ceremony, which UK officials say marked the largest ceremonial military reception for a state visit to Britain in memory.
The Trumps and the royal family then set off in a carriage procession to the nearly 1,000-year-old Windsor Castle. Britain has done its utmost to woo and flatter the unpredictable US president with an extraordinary display of pomp and grandeur, while trying to keep him on its side through a series of international crises.
The military welcome was even greater than when Queen Elizabeth II welcomed Trump on his first state visit in 2019. But as the president visited Windsor, protesters filled the streets of London in protest of his visit.
1,600 officers were deployed to deal with just one of the demonstrations in London, while four people were arrested after projecting images of Trump and Epstein near the castle. The highlight of the visit will be a spectacular banquet at St George's Hall, with speeches from King Charles and Trump, and the menu will be a culinary representation of the special relationship.
All of this is designed to win the heart of the American leader, who this year declared himself king in a post on social media, writing "long live the king" under a photo showing him wearing a crown.
