The US president is on a three-day state visit to the United Kingdom. He spent Monday meeting the Queen, with whom he spoke of the deep historic ties between the two nations. During Tuesday's talks with UK Prime Minister Theresa May, Trump discussed a post-Brexit trade deal, as well as Huawei and Iran.

On 5 June, US President Donald Trump has attended a D-Day anniversary commemoration in Portsmouth as Britain is hosting an "unprecedented" event, with multiple heads of state slated to attend the celebrations.

Queen Elizabeth II has joined British Prime Minister Theresa May and other world leaders for a ceremony to mark the 75th anniversary of the 1944 operation that took Allied troops across the English Channel to land on beaches in German-occupied France.

Later in the day, Donald Trump will make his first official trip to Ireland for a bilateral meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in Shannon.
