Thanks to the eminent hospitality of Queen Elizabeth II, the first day of President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s official State Visit to the United Kingdom embodied the full elegance of a royal celebration.

Yesterday’s full schedule concluded where it began: historic Buckingham Palace, where President Trump and the Queen raised their glasses to the lasting friendship between our two nations.

“Your Majesty, Melania and I are profoundly honored to be your guests for this historic State Visit,” the President said. “On behalf of all Americans, I offer a toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations, and to the long-cherished and truly remarkable reign of her Majesty, the Queen.”

Why the U.S.–U.K. alliance is stronger than ever


Early this morning by U.S. time, President Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May marked day two of the President's State Visit to the U.K. with a joint press conference at 10 Downing Street in London.

As President Trump stated it, the longstanding American-British alliance is the greatest the world has ever known. “Our relationship is grounded in common history, values, customs, culture, language and laws,” he said today. “Our people believe in freedom and independence as a sacred birthright and cherished inheritance worth defending at any cost.”

On the world stage, the United Kingdom remains a key partner in advancing shared global interests. Just one example of that alliance in action: the joint campaign to defeat ISIS. With the U.K.’s help, ISIS’ territorial caliphate in Syria and Iraq has now been completely obliterated.

This week also marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, American and British soldiers fought side-by-side to liberate Europe from brutal Nazi occupation and make the world safe for freedom and democracy. It was this shared sacrifice that sealed profound, enduring bonds between America and Britain.

“Seventy-five years ago this Thursday, courageous Americans and British patriots set out from this Island toward history’s most important battle,” President Trump said. “They stormed forward out of ships and airplanes, risking everything to defend our people and to ensure that the United States and Britain would forever remain sovereign and forever remain free.”

The American-British alliance is thriving under President Trump.
