London (CNN)When US President Donald Trump touches down in London on Monday morning, he sets foot in a nation living through its worst political crisis since the end of the Second World War.
Theresa May last week became the second British prime minister to fall victim to Brexit. The governing Conservative party is engaged in a myopic fight over who will replace her. Voters are sick of the mess and are flocking to political movements on the extreme ends of the Brexit debate.
Ordinarily, a state visit from the sitting US President is a chance for the UK so show off to the world the “special relationship” it enjoys with America and Britain at its best. But the best outcome for the Trump state visit is that it passes with as little fuss as possible.
