U.S. President Donald Trump embarks on his second state visit to Britain on Wednesday, marked by royal ceremony and diplomatic discussions. The visit occurs amid lingering questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.

In an extraordinary display, King Charles and his family will extend an unprecedented ceremonial welcome to President Trump at Windsor Castle, marking it as the grandest military reception for a state visit in recent memory. Trump, an admirer of the royals, expressed his excitement at the unique invitation from the British monarchy.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer views the visit as an opportunity to reinforce the 'special relationship' between the UK and the U.S., aiming to enhance economic ties and tackle pressing global issues like Ukraine. However, the shadow of the Epstein scandal looms over the visit, posing potential diplomatic challenges.
