Storyline: U.S. President Donald Trump commenced his state visit to the United Kingdom on Wednesday with a meeting with King Charles III at Windsor Castle, amid an atmosphere of heavy security and widespread public protests. British media described the visit as "unprecedented," not only because of its scale but also due to the unusual choice of venue. Instead of London, where state visits typically include events in the capital, Trump's engagements were held outside the city. Analysts suggest this was a strategic decision to minimize disruption in London and reduce the likelihood of inflaming public discontent. Security around Windsor Castle was significantly intensified, with an estimated 1,300 police officers deployed — a larger force than usually seen during visits by other foreign leaders. While the royal family and government extended the highest diplomatic courtesies to Trump, thousands of demonstrators across major cities voiced their opposition. "I'm against Donald Trump's visit in the UK, he should have never been invited," said one of the protesters. Unlike most state visits, which usually include moments of public interaction, Trump's visit was marked by what people called "isolation." The arrangements left the U.S. president almost entirely cut off from the general public, reinforcing the perception of a visit divided starkly between official pomp and public rejection. According to Buckingham Palace, Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting on Thursday, the last day of his visit, at Chequers, the prime minister's country residence.
