The announcement follows weeks of internal debate over whether the trip was appropriate given the political tensions — not least Trump’s own public scolding of the UK over the Strait of Hormuz. The visit is likely to test the boundaries of Britain’s “special relationship” with Washington at a moment when American isolationism is reaching new heights.
