Marine One Forced to Make Emergency Landing with Trump, Melania

The Marine One trip was only supposed to last 20 minutes, from the prime minister’s Chequers landing zone to Stansted Airport. However, the president and first lady took almost 40 minutes to reach the airport due to the issue.

King Charles II and Queen Camilla are welcoming the Trumps for an unusual second state visit, where they will talk about a substantial U.S. investment in the U.K.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised a £250 billion mutual investment package between the UK and President Trump called the US-UK alliance as the most “natural partnership in the world.”

Trump spent the morning at Windsor Castle with King Charles III. Then he flew by Marine One to Chequers, the prime minister’s country home, for a day of meetings about politics and business.
