Abstract
Donald Trump makes his first official visit to the UK as US President this week. The choice of date and portents of bad luck (Friday 13th) aside, the visit is a critical signifier of the UK and America’s “special relationship” and will say much of the ongoing, indeed seemingly special, status of the UK and America’s relationship moving forward.

Keywords
