Donald Trump greeted Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper with a firm handshake upon his arrival at Stansted airport for his second official visit to the UK. The interaction lasted approximately 11 seconds as they exchanged pleasantries before Trump was escorted to Winfield House, the US Ambassador’s residence, where he will be staying.
Yvette Cooper has previously voiced strong criticisms against President Trump, condemning his “aggressive misogyny” and “appalling behavior.” She has expressed concerns about his actions, stating that his behavior normalizes hatred and poses dangers. Additionally, she has criticized UK Prime Minister Theresa May for her actions related to Trump, urging her to stand up against him.
During his second state visit to the UK, Trump is expected to engage in discussions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to potentially align on a more pro-Ukrainian stance in the conflict and negotiate trade deals that benefit British exports to the US market.
