US President Donald Trump is on his first official visit to the UK this week where he will meet the Queen at Windsor Castle. The US president’s tight schedule will include a full military display to highlight the defence relations between the two countries. However, as thousands of protesters prepare to take to the streets to demonstrate against the US leader, he is set to avoid central London. Around 50,000 people are expected to gather in central London to protest against the US President when he arrives in the UK.
Both the leaders are expected to hold talks on the military alliance between the two nations. (Source: AP/File)
