Upon his arrival at Stansted airport for his second state visit to the UK, Donald Trump shared a prolonged handshake with Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper. The interaction lasted approximately 11 seconds before the President was swiftly transported to Winfield House, the US Ambassador’s residence where he will stay.
Yvette Cooper has previously expressed disapproval of President Trump’s behavior, referring to his “aggressive misogyny” and “appalling conduct.” She has criticized his actions as normalizing hatred and being irresponsible and dangerous.
The President’s historic second state visit to the UK commenced this evening. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is looking to engage Trump in discussions, potentially steering him towards a more supportive stance on Ukraine and negotiating reduced tariffs for British goods entering the US market.
