US President Donald Trump landed in Britain on Tuesday for an unprecedented second state visit at the invitation of King Charles III, AFP journalists said.
Air Force One touched down at Stansted Airport near London at 9:07 pm (2007 GMT). On the way, Trump told journalists the visit was “going to be a very big thing.”
Trump is the first president ever to receive an invitation for a second state visit after Queen Elizabeth II hosted him in 2019 during his first White House term.
