Former US President Donald Trump has landed on British soil, marking the start of a deeply divisive second state visit that has already drawn significant protest and heightened security across Windsor.
Air Force One touched down at Stansted Airport under grey skies, setting the stage for a trip fraught with political tension. Mr. Trump is scheduled to meet King Charles III at Windsor Castle later today, a engagement that is being closely watched on the world stage.
The visit has ignited immediate backlash. Thousands of demonstrators, organised by a coalition of activist groups including the Stop Trump Coalition, have begun gathering in Windsor. They brandish signs and prepare for what they promise will be a massive but peaceful display of dissent against the former president's policies and rhetoric.
Security preparations are unprecedented, with a major police operation visible throughout the historic town. The Metropolitan Police have implemented a robust plan to separate supporters from protesters, aiming to ensure the visit proceeds without incident.
This return to the UK is seen by many analysts as a crucial moment in Trump's post-presidency, blending diplomacy with his ongoing campaign for the White House. The eyes of the world are firmly fixed on Windsor, where history and high-stakes politics are set to collide.
