Donald Trump UK visit: The President's schedule as country prepares for his arrival

DONALD TRUMP has a busy few days ahead of him as he arrives for his first visit to the UK as president.

As well as a copious amount of golf, Trump has a number of formal engagements to attend – including meeting the Queen at Windsor Castle.

Wherever he goes in the country, he is likely to be followed by huge protests.

Mass demonstrations are planned for London, Glasgow and Edinburgh during his visit.

And protesters have already gathered outside his Turnberry golf resort ahead of his arrival.

Here’s what Trump has scheduled:

Thursday

Trump will arrive into Stansted airport on Thursday at around lunchtime, fresh from the Nato summit in Brussels.

He and First Lady Melania will have a meet and greet at the US Embassy in London.

He had cancelled a planned visit to open the newly relocated embassy at the beginning of the year, saying the move from Grosvenor Square in the prestigious Mayfair district of central London to an what he described as an “off location” at Nine Elms, south of the Thames, was a “bad deal”.

The couple will attend a black-tie dinner at the Grade I-listed Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire hosted by Theresa May.

Other guests are set to include leaders from business sectors, celebrating the business links between the UK and US.

Trump and his wife will spend Thursday night at Winfield House in Regent’s Park, which is the US Ambassador’s residence in London.

Friday

Trump will meet again with May for a visit to a defence site. Air restrictions have been put in place above the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

The pair will then travel to Chequers, the Prime Minister’s country residence, for what is being billed as “substantive bilateral talks on a range of foreign policy issues” during a working lunch.

A press conference is pencilled in for afterwards.

Trump will then meet the Queen at Windsor Castle.

The Queen and Trump will inspect the Guard of Honour before watching the military march past.

The Trumps will also join the Queen for tea at the Castle.

Later in the evening, Trump will board Air Force One and head to Scotland for the weekend. After landing at Prestwick, he will be welcomed by David Mundell, the Secretary of State for Scotland.

Saturday

Trump is believed to be spending the weekend playing golf at his Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire, which he bought in 2014, although there has been no official confirmation of his plans.

Trump’s mother, the late Mary MacLeod Trump, was Scottish. She was born on the Isle of Lewis before emigrating to the US in the 1930s.
