Following two drama-filled days at the NATO summit in Brussels, President Trump arrived in the United Kingdom for the second of three stops on his European tour.

The details: The president and first lady dined with Prime Minister Theresa May at Blenheim Palace, a 2,000-acre estate in the English countryside famously known as the birthplace of Winston Churchill. On Friday, Trump will travel to the country house of Prime Minister May in Chequers for a working lunch, before joining Queen Elizabeth for tea at Windsor Castle.
