Upon landing at Stansted airport for his second state visit to the UK, Donald Trump greeted Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper with a prolonged handshake. The interaction lasted about 11 seconds before he was escorted to Winfield House, the US Ambassador’s residence, where he will stay overnight.
Yvette Cooper has previously voiced criticism towards President Trump, citing his “aggressive misogyny” and “appalling behavior.” In past statements, she expressed concerns about Trump normalizing hatred and considered his actions irresponsible and dangerous.
During his current visit, Prime Minister Keir Starmer aims to engage Trump on key issues, including advocating for a more pro-Ukrainian stance in the conflict and negotiating to reduce trade barriers for British exports to the US.
