When President Trump visited Scotland this week, the first official gift he received was a 1921 census record from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, with details of his Scottish-born mother, Mary Anne, then 9 years old. Scotland’s first minister, John Swinney, also presented a document dating from 1853 that registered the marriage of Mr. Trump’s maternal great-grandparents. And there was a third gift, too: a historical map of Lewis. In exchange, Mr. Trump gave Mr. Swinney something rather less personal: an American bald-eagle figurine. Here’s a selection of noteworthy offerings exchanged when American and British leaders have met — and a couple of examples from elsewhere in Europe, too.
“He’s been wanting to be seen as the builder president so that whoever in the future goes to the White House, they’ll be in the Trump auditorium,” Mr. Brinkley said. One image showed a ballroom lined with golden chandeliers and golden chairs surrounding dozens of tables. Mr. Trump said he was focused on maintaining the integrity and tradition of the White House. “The White House ballroom will be substantially separated from the main building of the White House, but at the same time its theme and architectural heritage will be almost identical,” Ms. Leavitt said. Ms. Leavitt said that Mr. Trump and other donors would pay for the renovation.

These areas had seen a steep rise in incidents between July 2023 and June 2024, accounting for 70% of knife-enabled robbery at the time. “Anyone can be a victim of knife crime, but new ‘hex mapping’ technology shows that the vast majority of knife crime is concentrated in a relatively small, hyper-concentrated number of areas. “The Government’s knife surrender scheme has been a sign of commitment to tackling the scourge of knife crime. He said: “Under Labour’s Mayor, the capital has become Britain’s knife crime capital, accounting for over 32% of all knife crime and over 45% of knife-point robberies in England.
What's behind UK foreign policy change on Palestinian state? His government is using the recognition of a Palestinian state as a means of political pressure to push forward the so-called two-state solution.Until now, the UK has delayed its recognition of a Palestinian state in part because of the country's own historical responsibility.

A former Islamic State fighter who stood guard while a Jordanian pilot was burned alive a decade ago was sentenced to life in prison in a Swedish court on Thursday after being convicted of committing a war crime. A panel of judges in the Stockholm District Court found Osama Krayem, a 32-year-old Swedish citizen, guilty of a “grave war crime” and a terrorist offense. Though Mr. Krayem denied any wrongdoing, video evidence showed him participating in the gruesome murder of the pilot, whose immolation in 2015 caused a wave of outrage over the Islamic State’s treatment of prisoners. Mr. Krayem was one of thousands of young men who fought for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, when the group controlled large swaths of eastern Syria and northern Iraq. Lieutenant al-Kasasbeh had been shot down over Syria while carrying out airstrikes for a coalition of Arab nations.
