Trump’s UK Visit Brings Royal Welcome, Big Tech Billions and Protests
Donald Trump has arrived in the United Kingdom for his second official state visit. This is a rare honor of how much weight the UK is placing on its ties with Washington. The president and his wife, Melania, are being hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle, with formal ceremonies and meetings planned with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers.
The visit is designed to deepen relations between both countries, with a special focus on technology. Already, the two governments have signed what they’re calling the Tech Prosperity Deal. It is a sweeping agreement that covers artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and energy. Major companies like Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, and OpenAI are part of the pact. Microsoft alone is pledging around £22 billion for AI infrastructure in the UK. This is a chance to attract big investment for the British government, and position itself as a global place for high end technology.
But not everyone is celebrating. Trump’s arrival has caused protests across London and other cities. Demonstrators are voicing anger over his human rights record, his controversial stances on international conflicts, and his ties to Moscow. At one point, activists projected unflattering images of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle.
Critics are also raising red flags about the tech deal itself. They warn that it could hand too much power to big tech companies and weaken protections for artists, workers, and data privacy. Even as the government promotes the agreement as a major economic win, campaigners are calling for safeguards that ensure ordinary people benefit too.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
