\u201cBoth sides will be satisfied with how the state visit and press conference played out,\u201d said Michael Martins, an economic adviser at the U.S. Embassy in London during Trump\u2019s last state visit, who now has his own consultancy. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe White House and No. 10 lined up business and investment announcements to help move past the turbulence of Mandelson\u2019s resignation and Charlie Kirk\u2019s killing last week,\u201d he said, referencing the two big domestic stories engulfing each of the leaders. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The question for Downing Street is whether it has another Trump card up its sleeve amid the potentially choppy diplomatic waters ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s clearly got a thing with the royal family, and we may as well try to use that soft power effectively,\u201d Barwell said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But a third state visit might be too much even for Trump, who said he hoped he\u2019d be the first and last person to be honored with a second state visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess one of the things that they would probably be thinking about is whether either the king or the Prince of Wales does a visit to the U.S.,\u201d Barwell suggested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
