Trump was kept out of reach of critics as he met Britain\u2019s king and queen, amid furore back in US over suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! show \u2013 key US politics stories from 17 September 2025
Donald Trump was treated to royal pomp and pageantry \u2013 including processions, gifts and a flypast \u2013 during the first day of his second state visit to the UK while thousands of people joined protests against his presence.
As protesters voiced their anger in London at a Stop Trump Coalition protest, Trump was escorted by the king and queen through a first day that ended in a state banquet but kept him out of reach of his critics.
After landing by helicopter in Windsor Castle\u2019s grounds on Wednesday morning, Trump joined King Charles in a horse-drawn carriage but the procession remained within the royal estate and out of the reach of the public, with security concerns given as an explanation.
Trump will meet British prime minister Keir Starmer at his country residence Chequers on Thursday.
Keir Starmer has sought to navigate a politically treacherous state visit by Donald Trump with an announcement of \u00a3150bn of US investment in the UK, as the president was kept safely within the confines of Windsor Castle and away from thousands of protesters in London.
With Downing Street eager to make the best of what could prove to be a difficult few days, Starmer announced what was said to be the largest ever investment package in the UK.

The US Federal Reserve<\/a> cut interest rates on Wednesday, its first rate cut since December, as the central bank moved to stabilize a wobbling labor market even as Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s tariffs continue to push up prices.
Rates are now at a range of 4% to 4.25% \u2013 the lowest since November 2022. But the decision is unlikely to satisfy Trump, who has lambasted the Fed for acting \u201ctoo late\u201d and called for a far bigger cut.
