Donald Trump to meet the King as protesters gather in London and Windsor – UK politics live | Politics

Good morning. The official British today reveals the red carpet for Donald Trump. The first full day and day of the unprecedented state visit will enjoy King Charles in Windsor Castle and the best pageantr that the country can lay. Like other Western leaders, Keir Starmer concluded that the key to obtaining positive results from Trump was praised and embarrassed suction and that the royal family (not the first time) was deployed for this purpose.

However, civilian Britain will also have a say about Trump today and perhaps pay attention to the obsession with large crowds and the love of free speech. Protests all over the countryWith the main one in London. When Trump asked Mike Pence, Vice President of Trump’s first management, he said he felt a booing one night when he joined the theater, he said it was “the voice of freedom”. Trump’s response to protesters is much darker. But today there is almost no chance of hearing any; The state visit is completely behind closed doors.

I will largely focus on the state visit today, but I will discuss the non -UK politics.

Here is our story about Trump who came to England overnight.

At work Rafael BehrStarmer’s preservatives of potential defects in the hand -held approach to the US President.

And here’s the result of a Rafael.

Downing Street rejects that it is a choice between Brussels and Washington, but Trump is a jealous master. A handsome gambling of super potentate throughout the Atlantic. With countries that respect the treaties and international rules, there is an opportunity cost to strengthen alliances close to home.

If Trump’s reign is a deviation, this tension can be avoided. He’s old. Perhaps a successor, strengthened by a moderate congress, will turn the slide of the US Republic into the persecution. Possible. But is it the most likely scenario in a country where political violence is normalized? What is the possibility of regular transfer of a power that unites religious fundamentalists, white superiorists, wild-eyed technology-utopic oligarchs and all opposition in betrayal tones?

These are not people who deliver humble power in the ballot, and even with a fair election risk. In values ​​and judiciary, they are not people who need to bet the future prosperity or national security of England.
