Donald Trump will not make any public appearances in London when he comes to the UK next week – amid a massive security operation.
The US president and First Lady Melania will touch down in Britain on Thursday for his first visit since entering the White House.
Huge protests have been threatened that could see 50,000 take to the streets of the capital, while a big orange ‘Baby Trump’ blimp has been given permission to fly.
The bill for the American leader’s three-day trip is expected to be around £30million as 10,000 police officers are deployed to keep the US commander-in-chief from trouble.
Trump’s £1.2 million Cadillac ‘The Beast’ has been flown over in one of the world’s largest military planes – the Super Galaxy C5.
Meanwhile US Navy carrier, the gigantic USS Harry S Truman, will dock in the south coast as back up.
However, fresh details of the long-awaited visit issued by Downing Street confirm that Mr Trump will spend only minimal time in London.
Instead he will be feted by Mrs May at a dinner for business leaders being held on Thursday night at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, the ancestral home of his hero Winston Churchill.
The next day he will have tea with the Queen at Windsor Castle and talks with the Prime Minister at her country retreat, Chequers.
Mrs Trump, meanwhile, will be given her own sightseeing tour, hosted by Theresa May’s husband Philip.
It has also emerged that Mr Trump will spend the majority of his three-day trip in Scotland, where his mother was born and where he owns two golf courses.
Many Tory MPs are delighted that Mr Trump is finally coming to the UK. There is a growing backlash against the anti-Trump protests, with more than 10,000 people signing a petition calling for a blimp of London Mayor Sadiq Khan to be flown above London next week.
Asked whether the President was aware of planned protests, the US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson said: ‘I think we are all aware of these things but the President is focused on what his objectives are.
‘He appreciates free speech, both in this country and in our country. It is one of the things that bind us together.
