   <media:description>Donald Trump has said he “didn’t want” Sir Sadiq Khan at events put on for his second state visit to the UK, escalating his feud with the London mayor by describing him as “among the worst mayors in the world”.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on the way back from his state visit, the US president claimed that Sir Sadiq had wanted to attend, but “I asked that he not be there”.

It is the latest in a long-running war of words between Mr Trump and the Labour mayor, who accused the American leader of encouraging divisive far-right politics around the world as he landed in Britain earlier this week.

The US president’s harsh words for the London mayor come despite Mr Trump holding a successful press conference with prime minister Sir Keir Starmer at Chequers on Thursday, where he said the UK and US share an “unbreakable bond”.

On Thursday, Mr Trump said: “I didn’t want him there, I asked that he not be there. I think the mayor of London Khan is among the worst mayors in the world, and we have some bad ones. If you look at Chicago, but I think he’s the equivalent of the mayor of Chicago.

   <media:description>Donald Trump’s official state visit to the UK rounded off on Thursday (18 September), with Trump hailing an “unbreakable bond” between the two countries. All eyes turned to the political arena for day two of the visit, as Keir Starmer and Trump faced the world's media following crunch bilateral talks over trade, Gaza, and Ukraine. The two leaders earlier signed a historic tech investment deal, which Starmer said would “change lives.” The Trumps departed from Stanstead just before 6 pm local time.

   <media:description>The Princess of Wales made a striking impression at Windsor on Tuesday (17 September) as she joined Prince William to welcome Donald Trump and Melania Trump on the first day of their state visit.

Kate wore a deep burgundy Emilia Wickstead dress, paired with a bespoke Jane Taylor hat in luxury felt, detailed with a satin bow, delicate veiling, and a feather brooch. The made-to-measure piece is worth more than £2,000 and was completed with a vintage Chanel bag.

Later, at the state banquet, she dazzled in a champagne-gold chantilly lace coat over a silk crepe gown by Phillipa Lepley, paired with the Lover’s Knot Tiara once worn by Princess Diana and earrings once worn by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

   <media:description>King Charles and Prince William’s former royal butler has shared a unique insight into Donald Trump’s state banquet.

Grant Harrold, also known as The Royal Butler, worked for the King and Queen Camilla, as well as Prince William, Princess Kate and Prince Harry up until 2011.

Mr Harrold spoke exclusively to The Independent about Trump’s behaviour and how the King will have felt about the visit.

He also gave a sneak insight into protocol at the state banquet - from seating plans and why Melania Trump was placed next to Queen Camilla, to royal fashion and the secret nod the family gave to Windsor.

   <media:description>The first migrant has been deported to France under Sir Keir Starmer’s “one in, one out” deal.

The man, who arrived in the UK on a small boat in August, was flown into Paris from Heathrow on Thursday morning.

The first arrivals to the UK from France under the scheme are expected in the coming days, with more deportation flights due this week and next.

The news comes after the home secretary Shabana Mahmood vowed to review modern slavery laws after the High Court blocked an Eritrean asylum seeker’s removal from the UK under the deal.

   <media:description>Watch as Donald Trump says that Jimmy Kimmel was fired for poor ratings after the late night host had his show pulled for comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s shooting.

At a press conference at Chequers with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Thursday (18 September), the president was asked about the suspension of Kimmel’s talk show and whether free speech was more “under attack” in Britain or America.

Mr Trump responded by claiming that Mr Kimmel was fired ”because he had bad ratings”, and slammed him for saying a “horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk”.

Stating that the comedian should have been axed long ago, Mr Trump said: “You can call that free speech or not, he was fired for lack of talent.”

   <media:description>Donald Trump has told Sir Keir Starmer to call in the military to tackle illegal immigration during a joint press conference in Chequers to round off the US president's state visit to the UK.

Speaking at the British prime minister’s country home, Mr Trump told Sir Keir he should take a tougher line on tackling the migrant crisis, saying: “You have people coming in, and I told the prime minister I would stop it, and it doesn’t matter if you call out the military, it doesn’t matter what means you use.”

Sir Keir hailed the two countries’ “special relationship” and said a tech deal with the US would “change lives” and mark a “new era”, as the two leaders faced the world's media following crunch bilateral talks over trade, Gaza and Ukraine.

   <media:description>Venezuela says it has launched three days of large-scale military exercises in the Caribbean after several U.S. attacks on alleged drug trafficking boats. 
Defence minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez said the exercise, named Sovereign Caribbean, would involve air defence deployments with armed drones and “electronic warfare actions” in response to the “threatening, vulgar voice” of the U.S. 

Venezuela’s defence ministry said the exercises would involve 12 ships, 22 aircraft and 20 small boats from the “special naval militia”. They will take place on La Orchila island, where the South American country has a military base.
