The Queen wins over Donald Trump as US President says UK relationship ‘never been better’

Mr Trump took to Twitter to say a “very big” trade deal will be done between the two nations after Brexit. He said: “Could not have been treated more warmly in the United Kingdom by the Royal Family or the people. Our relationship has never been better, and I see a very big trade deal down the road.”

The Queen welcomed the Trumps on Monday, and hosted a state banquet that night on his behalf.

She will also join Donald and Melania Trump today in Portsmouth for the D-Day commemorations.

Other members of the Royal Family also stepped up to accompany the Trumps during their three day visit, with Prince Charles and Camilla hosting afternoon tea in Clarence House, and Prince Andrew escorting Donald and Ivanka Trump to a business meeting with Theresa May and industry leaders.

Donald Trump will be greeted by images of the baby blimp effigy of himself when he visits Portsmouth on the final day of his state visit.

A campaign group which “hacks” advertising boards has plastered images of the balloon, which flew over Parliament Square on Tuesday, to bus shelters in the city.

Mr Trump will visit Portsmouth alongside the Queen, Prime Minister and other world leaders for a national commemoration ceremony, 75 years after the D-Day landings.

Some 70,000 members of the public are also expected to attend the event at Portsmouth Naval Memorial on Southsea Common to pay tribute to the thousands who lost their lives during Operation Overlord.

A Special Patrol Group spokesman said: “The Trump Baby has relentlessly trolled the president across the world, from London to Paris to Buenos Aires, and we wanted to make sure that he got a look-in at Portsmouth too.

“D-day is about commemorating the fight against fascism, but Trump is pursuing a dangerous far-right agenda and fanning the flames of hatred.”
