Over 100 secret service agents from the United States are set to escort Donald Trump during his upcoming visit to the UK following the tragic death of Charlie Kirk.
A substantial police operation, costing millions, will be on high alert in the aftermath of the assassination of a close associate of the US President at a university in Utah. This operation will feature an extensive deployment of drones above Windsor Castle to ensure security as Trump and First Lady Melania are hosted by the King.
In addition to the US agents, thousands of British police officers will be present during the two-day visit. MI5 is keeping watch for potential threats from lone-wolf attackers and subversive political adversaries, with SAS troops on standby to respond to any incidents, supported by a US special forces team.
A security insider remarked on the challenges posed by recent events, stating, “The situation in Utah last night has added complexity and uncertainty to the security plans, but we hope for clarity before the visit to ascertain if it was an isolated incident or part of a broader scheme.”
Upon Trump’s arrival next Wednesday, the Stop Trump coalition intends to stage a protest in London under the banner “Trump Not Welcome,” urging the cancellation of the visit due to allegations against the US President involving climate denial and support for alleged war criminals in Israel, Russia, and other regions.
The potential for disruption by demonstrators is a significant concern, with security measures being tightened to prevent any incidents, even minor ones like graffiti. Authorities are actively monitoring for any signs of organized plans or individuals with suspicious intentions.
The initial day of Trump’s visit will be held privately with the King and Queen, minimizing public exposure and facilitating security measures. The President will witness a flypast by the Red Arrows and military jets from both the UK and US at Windsor Castle, followed by a ceremonial event.
On the subsequent day, Trump and the First Lady will proceed from Windsor Castle to Chequers, the official country residence of the Prime Minister in Buckinghamshire. The President’s motorcade, including two identical limousines, will be transported in advance by United States Air Force aircraft.
