Donald Trump’s three-day UK trip will cost £30m and include a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier

Donald Trump’s visit to the UK will be his nation’s most expensive to date as a ring of steel is erected around the president, including an aircraft carrier, decoy helicopters and thousands of police officers.

The bill for the American leader’s three-day trip is expected to be around £30m between the two nations as security services plan to work together to keep Trump from trouble.

Protests and counter protests are planned with 50,000 expected to hit the streets. With the threat of violence looming over the capital when Trump arrives on July 13, a huge operation is underway.

Ten thousand British police will be deployed while summer breaks for key intelligence officers have been scrapped and security clearance is granted for US agents in Downing Street.

The president is taking no chances as he brings in an arsenal of military hardware and his most tough and trusted staff. 

Trump’s £1.2 million Cadillac ‘The Beast’ has been flown over in one of the world’s largest military planes – the Super Galaxy C5.   

Meanwhile US Navy carrier, the gigantic USS Harry S Truman, will dock in the south coast as back up.

A twin rotor Osprey V22 aircraft will be onboard along with Black Hawk helicopters in case the president needs to be extracted quickly.

The $4.5billion US carrier, used recently in Syria, was designed to ‘project American presence and power off any coast’ according to the US navy.

The nuclear-powered vessel – which weighs 97,000 tons – is almost as long as the Empire State Building at close to 1,100 feet. 

Below the deck hums a small city of over 5,500 people.

The early staged are already underway with a week to go under the gargantuan security operation.

The first of Trump’s bodyguards arrived at RAF Lakenheath, a US Base in Suffolk, last week.

Ahead of his visit, the president’s personal Sikorsky helicopters, code-named Marine One will arrive. They are expected to be joined by two decoy craft. 

Britain is still on high alert for a terror attack with hundreds of people linked to terror groups being watched across the nation.

A ‘walk through, talk through’ exercise has been carried out on all routes planned on the trip – so security officers can look for potential weaknesses and cover potential strike areas. 

The US will send around forty intelligence officers to work directly with the SAS.

A senior security source told the Daily Mirror: ‘This visit has been planned for a long time, from heavily armed police and plain clothes special forces sat in unmarked vans to a secondary high readiness force and RAF Chinook helicopters sat on the edge of the capital.

‘The US are pouring resources into the UK in what will be their biggest ever security operation to this country.

‘Trump is probably the most divisive US President to come to the UK and as such his presidency has sparked widespread spite and hatred, given his aggressive foreign policies and his touch stance domestically.

‘He faces multiple threats and that is why the operation to protect him is so vast.’

US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will arrive on July 12 for a three day visit in which they will meet the Queen
