“Britain is gearing up for this week’s state visit by President Trump as only Britain can do. There will be an official greeting ceremony at Buckingham Palace, a lavish banquet with the queen’s best china, a gun salute fired from Green Park and the Tower of London,” the Washington Post reports.
“It will all be suitably over-the-top. But there is also a sense that British officials are slightly less than enthusiastic about this particular round of state visit grandeur.”
“Some of the traditional trappings — such as staying over at Buckingham Palace, a royal welcome at the Horse Guards Parade and a gold carriage procession down the Mall — are notably absent.”
Daily Telegraph: “The U.S. President had been scheduled for a private sit down with Mrs. May but this has now been reportedly taken off the agenda. They will still conduct a joint press conference on Tuesday.”
