Windsor, UK — September 18, 2025
Former U.S. President Donald Trump is making headlines once again, this time across the Atlantic, as he embarks on his second state visit to the United Kingdom. The visit, marked by royal ceremonies and high-level meetings, has been described by Trump as “one of the highest honors of my life.”

During a formal state banquet held Wednesday evening at Windsor Castle, Trump praised the “deep and enduring friendship” between the United States and the United Kingdom, emphasizing the historical alliance that has stood “through war, peace, and every challenge in between.”

A Grand Welcome from the Royal Family

King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted the Trumps with full royal honors, including a ceremonial welcome by the Household Cavalry, a military inspection, and a formal banquet attended by dignitaries from both countries. Trump’s return to the UK in such a high-profile capacity is being viewed as both a diplomatic gesture and a signal of ongoing transatlantic cooperation. His visit included a solemn stop at St. George’s Chapel, where he paid respects at the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II, calling her “a symbol of grace and duty.”
