Ceremony, political jibes mark Trump's first day in London
Trump and his wife, Melania, flew by helicopter to Buckingham Palace, landing on a lawn where Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, greeted them. They received a deafening royal gun salute as they walked to the palace where a waiting queen smiled at the president.
"@SadiqKhan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly"nasty" to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom," Trump wrote just before landing."He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me."
The agenda for Trump's weeklong journey is mostly ceremonial: a state visit and audience with the queen, D-Day commemoration ceremonies on both sides of the English Channel and his first presidential visit to Ireland, which will include a stay at his coastal golf club. "I think Boris would do a very good job. I think he would be excellent," Trump told The Sun."I like him. I have always liked him. I don't know that he is going to be chosen, but I think he is a very good guy, a very talented person."
After lunch with the queen, Trump was shown parts of the collection at Buckingham Palace, including an 18th-century map of New York, historic photos of golf at St. Andrews and books about birds and George Washington. Westminster Abbey was next, with a tour and moment of silence at the tomb of the Unknown Warrior.
In an interview with The Sun, Trump weighed in on the American-born Duchess of Sussex. The former Meghan Markle, who gave birth to a son in May and will not attend the week's events, was critical of Trump in the past, prompting the president to tell the tabloid,"I didn't know that she was nasty."
