Trump's 2018 UK visit cost taxpayers 18,000,000 - Obama's was 1,600,000
Donald Trump’s UK visit cost police nearly £18 million while taxpayers paid £1.6 million for Barack Obama’s trip to Britain.
Thousands of officers were deployed to cover the US President’s three-day visit in the largest mobilisation since the 2011 riots.
The high number, revealed by the National Police Chiefs’ Council today, is 11 times more than then-president Obama’s police price tag during his state visit in 2016.
