Donald Trump arrives in UK for historic visit – and boasts that Brits ‘like me a lot’
The President touched down at Stansted this afternoon for the start of a three-day visit to the UK, after claiming Brits ‘like me a lot’
By Hugo Gye, Alain Tolhurst and Natasha Clark, 12th July 2018:
DONALD Trump has landed in Britain for his historic first official visit – and declared that the people of the UK “like me a lot”.
The President arrived at Stansted Airport near London on Air Force One at 2pm, accompanied by his wife Melania and a huge entourage.

The couple were met by US ambassador Woody Johnson, the Trade Secretary Liam Fox and a military guard, before being whisked away on a helicopter which was waiting on the Tarmac.
Before he left he declared the UK was in “turmoil”, gave luke-warm support for Theresa May, and said he hoped to meet his “friend” Boris Johnson in Britain

The trip is not a full-blown state visit – but it will see the President meet the Queen for the first time and feature a tour of historic homes around the UK.
Mr Trump has dismissed the possibility of having his trip seriously disrupted by leftie activists – insisting he’s actually very popular in Britain.
Asked if he was worried about the protests, he replied: “I think it’s fine. I think they like me a lot in the UK.
“I think they agree with me on immigration. I am very strong on immigration.”

Speaking at a Nato summit in Brussels before he jumped on his official plane, he made it clear he doesn’t approve of Mrs May’s “soft Brexit” compromise.
Mr Trump told a press conference: “Well Brexit is, I’ve been reading a lot about Brexit over the last couple of days.
“And it seems to be turning a little bit differently, where they’re getting at least partially involved back with the European Union.”
A journalist then asked if he was backing a “hard Brexit”, but the president misheard – thinking he had asked if it was “heart-breaking”, he replied: “That might be going a little too far!”
