On Tuesday, four men were arrested after seeing photos of Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as the US president arrived in the United Kingdom for a state visit. Following a public performance in Windsor, they were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications and remained in detention, according to Thames Valley Police.

Trump arrived in London late Tuesday and stayed at the US ambassador's hoUSe in the city overnight. Several demonstrators gathered in Windsor ahead of the tour, and a significant police operation will be in place in the town until the state visit concludes on Thursday. More than 1,600 officers would be deployed in central London on Wednesday, according to the Metropolitan Police, ahead of a demonstration called by the Stop Trump Alliance. The president and First Lady Melania will dine lunch with members of the Royal Family, explore Queen Elizabeth II's tomb, and speak at the castle during a traditional state banquet.
