Two observations:
1) The state carriage used was the one gifted to us by #Canada.

2) Trump seemed to like The Red Arrows. That's one thing we can agree on!

Donald Trump has reduced tariffs on British metals and cars, but how important is this trade deal? Experts react Experts say the new UK–US trade deal lifts tariffs and preserves the digital tax, but is politically driven and falls short of a full agreement, signalling limited gains and more talks ahead.

We know the details have yet to be worked out & that it's NOT an AGREEMENT, which is an important distinction.

HOWEVER:

It's important to note that what's been reported would save the UK 150,000 jobs, which is not peanuts.

And now, because Trump seems intent on wrecking the US intelligence system along with every other part of American government, we are all apparently supposed to have always supported the #UKUSA / #FiveEyes system all along. So it goes...

With discussions around European security, peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, & around trade, how long can the UK keep up the nonsense that being outwith the EU is in interests of the citizens of our 4 nations? When also will the pretence end that #UKUSA have some super special relationship? #brexit

You know it’s really bad when the original UKUSA Agreement is being thrown in the dustbin.

Intelligence-sharing agreements reflect the true level of trust between entities and nations. Nowadays, the US is shifting into « different » trust circles and moving away from its historical partners […]

As a #Canadian, worried about my Oceanic brethren, I second this. While we're at it, maybe it's times that #UKUSA needs to go blind as well.
