About this episode
The first day of President Trump’s historic trip to the UK was dominated by ceremony.
A carriage procession around the grounds of Windsor Castle with the royal family.
Inspection of the guards.
Exhibits from the Royal Collection.
A lavish banquet preceded by a joint US- UK military flypast.
All the royal pomp and pageantry that might be expected for the first ever second state visit by an elected politician to a British monarch.
But the sights and sounds beyond the castle were far different.
Thousands of protestors filled London’s streets with chants, signs and Trump baby blimps.
Protestors told us they were demonstrating over what’s happening in the United States over what’s happening in Gaza and over Trump’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The U.K.'s response to Trump is like America's: divided
Coming up, opposing perspectives on President Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom.
This episode was produced by Kathryn Fink and Beth Timmins in London and by Tyler Bartlam and Elena Burnett in Washington. It was edited by Courtney Dorning, Nick Spicer, Roberta Rampton and Nadia Lancy.
