Hours before a formal welcoming ceremony, Trump set a cantankerous tone for his five-day European trip, tweeting out a series of attacks and complaints.
First Lady Melania Trump, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and President Trump watch an honor guard during a welcome ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Monday.
Before Air Force One had touched down, Trump attacked London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, as a “stone cold loser.” After being flown from the airfield northeast of London to Winfield House, the U.S. ambassador’s residence here, for some downtime ahead of afternoon ceremonies, Trump continued to tweet, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, senior advisor Stephen Miller and U.S. Ambassador Woody Johnson were among those watching the ceremonies from a palace balcony.
Trump’s day of official festivities also included a private lunch with the queen, a visit to Westminster Abbey and the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, and tea with Prince Charles and Camilla.
