JD Vance visits UK amid tense ties and political differences

US Vice President JD Vance has arrived in the UK for a working visit, starting with a meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy. The trip will include cultural visits and meetings with US troops, Firstpost reported.

Known for his “America First” stance and sharp criticism of Britain’s Labour Party, Vance’s visit comes amid heightened transatlantic tensions. Despite political differences, Vance and Lammy share a personal connection through faith.

Discussions will likely focus on Ukraine, Gaza, and trade. Protests are expected, reflecting opposition to Vance’s policies seen during his previous US trip, according to Firstpost.
