POLL: Does Trump deserve a second state visit?

Donald Trump left the US for Britain yesterday with his flight arriving at Stansted Airport soon after 9pm. The visit marks Trump's second UK state visit - with his first taking place during the late Queen Elizabeth II's reign in 2019.

The US President, who has travelled with Melania Trump, will be greeted by the Prince and Princess of Wales this morning, before the couple join the King and Queen later today. Buckingham Palace recently announced that the public will not be able to greet the couple during their UK state visit. Instead, engagements will be held within the grounds of the private Windsor estate.

The US President's first state visit to the UK reportedly set British taxpayers back millions of pounds.

The 2019 trip cost an eye-watering £3.9 million [$5.3m] as security levels were ramped in order to protect the controversial President.

Preparations for this week's visit got underway on Monday as a 7ft fence was seen erected around the entirety of Windsor Castle.

The high-level security in place comes after President Trump previously faced an attempted assassination last July - just days before he was to accept the Republican presidential nomination. And last week, right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was shot dead.

The 79-year-old appeared to have made an awkward blunder during an interview earlier today - which took place prior to him boarding the plane to the UK.

Trump appeared to suggest that it was the first time such an occasion had been hosted at the Berkshire residence, as well as suggesting that the Castle was chosen because it's "the ultimate" compared to Buckingham Palace.

French President Macron was hosted at Windsor Castle for a state visit in July, with the formal event having to move out of London due to the current multi-million refurbishment works at the Palace. He also accidentally referred to the King as "Prince Charles".
