Nick Farley, the managing director of the Flag Consultancy, which the government contracts for all big ceremonial events, said the US embassy objected to the £800 flags earmarked for the visit.
Speaking to the Telegraph, he said: “The Americans decided that the red we use, which is called R01, wasn’t right for them, and that they wanted a cherry red instead, so we had to buy all new flags for this visit.”
He said the switch meant the stars and stripes featured a brighter shade of red than the union flags flown alongside them.

It’s just their pathetic attempt to appear brighter. It didn’t work. trump opened his mouth.
Funny how some people “go mental” when the wrong shade of red is used. Hahaha
Trump is so 🙄 I wish the US Embassy wouldn’t embarrass us so badly overseas by demanding such ridiculousness.
The US embassy staff must be the wedding planners for the Trump family.
