LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump is heading to the United Kingdom, where he’ll become the first U.S. president to get a second state visit to the U.K. As Trump left the White House on Tuesday, he noted that during his past state visit he was hosted at Buckingham Palace and this time he’ll be at Windsor Castle, which he says people call “the ultimate.” Trump will meet King Charles III at Windsor Castle and hold talks with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers. Trump says U.K. officials want to continue trade negotiations during his visit. The British government hopes a multibillion-dollar technology deal will show strong trans-Atlantic ties despite differences over Ukraine and the Middle East.
