Donald Trump ended his second UK state visit with one of his "few disagreements" with PM Keir Starmer — Britain’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state this September unless Israel makes substantive steps to curb the Gaza conflict. 🎤🇬🇧
When asked about the move at a joint press conference, Trump said, "I have a disagreement with the prime minister on that score. One of our few disagreements, actually." Starmer, meanwhile, insisted the timing "has got nothing to do" with Trump’s visit.
Beyond geopolitics, the visit sealed a mega multi-billion-dollar tech pact to supercharge cooperation in fast-growing sectors like artificial intelligence, quantum computing and nuclear energy. 🚀 Under the deal, Microsoft will pour $30 billion into AI infrastructure in Britain, while Google is set to launch a cutting-edge data center in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire.
But not everyone was cheering. Thousands of protesters took to the streets of London on Wednesday, rallying against U.S. policies on Israel and Gaza. Outside Windsor Castle, satirical artist Kaya Mar quipped, "The so-called (U.S.-UK) special relationship does not exist. The Americans only care about their national interest. To them, every country is the same, just a business deal."
Amanda, who flew in from Los Angeles that very morning, added, "We don't have good leadership, and I'm very worried about the direction that the United States is taking and the world." The energy was electric — a mix of tech optimism and political activism that sums up our fast-moving, hyper-connected era. 💥🌍
Whether you’re following AI innovation or global politics, Trump’s UK send-off was a snapshot of today’s biggest debates — from state recognition to server banks. Stay tuned as history (and your timeline) keeps scrolling! 📱✨
