Donald Trump plans two visits to the UK this year. The first is a private trip to his golf courses, and the second is a state visit in September, which includes a welcome from King Charles III. The state visit has ignited backlash, with accusations of Trump spreading hate and harming democratic norms. Demonstrations are expected, as activists and some MPs oppose the visit, deeming it inappropriate. Despite these controversies, Downing Street sees the visit as a chance to enhance UK-US relations.
