As Trump dined on watercress panna cotta and chicken ballotine, in the same room was the media mogul whom he has sued over a story about a birthday message to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
King Charles III laid on an extraordinary show for the dinner in the grand St George's Hall of the nearly 1,000-year-old Windsor Castle just outside London.
The table itself took a week to put together, they said.
The meal itself mixed fine dining touches with the simple tastes that Trump is known for when it comes to food.
For the main event, an organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes, with a thyme and savoury infused jus.
The drinks in particular were a nod to Trump -- even if the president is a lifelong teetotaller who guzzles Diet Coke instead.
A 1945 Warre’s port served after dinner is “in recognition of Donald J. Trump as the 45th, as well as the 47th, President”, Buckingham Palace said. They also chose a 1912 Hennessy cognac from the birth year of his Scottish mother.
Murdoch surprise
Trump sued Australian-born media magnate Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion in June over the publication of an article about him and the late Epstein.
The scandal had already cast a shadow over the visit as UK ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson was sacked days before over his own ties to the disgraced Epstein.
Murdoch, 94, whose media business has long made him a kingmaker in British politics, was spotted mingling with other guests but was sat far along the huge table from the US president.
Several US tech CEOs were also at the dinner, including Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Open AI's Sam Altman, reflecting the billions in tech deals going down during the visit.
“He stood in line and shook about 150 hands. And the king knew every single person and every single company. And some of them had bad names like XYZ-Q3,“ Trump said - AFP
