As did Mikhail Gorbachev - whose statesmanship was readily apparent.

Not something one can say about the loathsome Trump.

In the old days US presidents did it differently using RAF Transport Command on at least one occasion as below when I photographed President Ike arriving at RAF Benson on his way to visit PM Macmillan at Chequers in August 1959.




Later (in April 2016) President Obama visited London to meet with David Cameron at No 10. He had dinner with the Queen at Buckingham Palace and later visited William and Kate at Kensington Palace. He landed in AF1 at Stansted and used "The Beast" (presidential car 002) for his visits around London.
