- Mr Trump and First Lady Melania will have a meet and greet at the US Embassy in London. This is as close he will get to any sign of a protest, but police cordons and security will be in place.

Mr Trump cancelled a planned visit to open the newly-relocated embassy at the beginning of the year, saying it was a “bad deal” to move from Grosvenor Square in the prestigious Mayfair district of central London to what he described as an “off location” at Nine Elms, south of the Thames.

Mr and Mrs Trump will also join the Queen for tea at the Castle.

- Later in the evening Mr Trump will head to Scotland for the weekend. He will be welcomed by David Mundell, the Secretary of State for Scotland. Despite criticism from the SNP and Labour, Mundell is said to be “looking forward” to meeting with the US president.

Saturday

Mr Trump has confirmed at the NATO press conference earlier today that he will be spending the weekend playing golf at his Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire, which he bought in 2014. There were reports earlier this year that diplomats had been tasked with finding a famous golfing partner for Mr Trump for a round at Turnberry, but no names have been confirmed.

Mr Trump’s mother, the late Mary MacLeod Trump, was Scottish. She was born on the Isle of Lewis before emigrating to the US in the 1930s.
