U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Britain for a second state visit, highlighting renewed U.S.-UK ties and billions in fresh investments. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is eager to use the visit to champion Britain as a top destination for American capital, particularly in financial services, technology, and energy.
Ahead of Trump’s arrival, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and UK finance minister Rachel Reeves announced a new “Transatlantic Taskforce” to strengthen cooperation between London and New York, two of the world’s largest financial hubs. Trump will be welcomed by King Charles at Windsor Castle with full royal pageantry, including a state banquet, carriage procession, and military flypast.
The visit comes at a politically sensitive time for both leaders. Trump, shaken by the recent killing of ally Charlie Kirk, seeks a distraction, while Starmer faces scrutiny after firing Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson over ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Starmer hopes the trip shifts focus to trade and diplomacy.
Business leaders such as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI’s Sam Altman are attending, with major investment pledges expected. Microsoft committed over $30 billion in the UK over the next four years, while Google announced a £5 billion ($6.8 billion) investment, including a new AI-focused data center near London.
Starmer will host Trump at Chequers to discuss trade, tariffs, global security, Ukraine, and Gaza. Both governments will be shielded from planned protests as high-level talks progress. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and UK Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper are already engaged in diplomatic discussions.
A spokesperson called the visit “a historic opportunity” to strengthen the U.S.-UK special relationship, aligning economic and geopolitical priorities at a critical moment for global stability.
