The US is working hard to negotiate a "great" trade deal with the UK government led by Keir Starmer. According to JD Vance, Vice President Trump "really loves the United Kingdom" and has a cultural affinity with it. Trump imposed tariffs on imports earlier this month, and the UK government hopes to exempt itself from these tariffs. Vance expressed optimism that both sides can come to a mutually beneficial agreement, citing Trump's admiration for the Queen and King, as well as his business relationships in Britain.

A Chinese TikToker created a 32-second AI-generated video depicting a depressing America under Donald Trump’s tariffs, showing morbidly obese Americans performing low-skilled labor work. The video mocks Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" and emphasizes manufacturing jobs that have moved overseas. This online insult is part of a war of words amid the tit-for-tat tariff fight between Washington and Beijing, which has included retaliatory tariffs and derogatory comments from US Vice President JD Vance about China's economy being fueled by "peasants".

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution, aiming to eliminate "improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology" from its museums, centers, and National Zoo. The order directs Vice-President JD Vance to lead a purge of exhibits and programs that "divide Americans by race" and singles out specific museums, including the American Women's History Museum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Greenland's government is unhappy about the visit, citing Trump's past comments and perceived foreign interference in their country's internal affairs.
