That's why I think it could have been used cautiously as a, actually, President Trump, you're not going to win everyone in this game. You're not going to win over. You know, we're not going to send our monarch to sort of schmooze with you in Washington. I mean, the king is, after all, commander-in-chief of the armed forces in Britain, and Trump has insulted them.

When we've been on such a rocky road with this presidency, I would have thought not cancelling it, that would be too much of a rebuke, but there would be a diplomatic way of finding a pause. But not everyone agrees. Robert Hartman is the author of an upcoming biography of the late Queen Elizabeth. He thinks Mr Trump will be on his best behaviour as he was when he visited Britain last year.

These things are never perfect and clearly there could be a better time. I mean, if you look back at the president's speech at the state banquet at Windsor last September, I mean, I can't recall in decades of state visits or state visitors having quite such warm words to say about Britain generally. I mean, let's not forget this is a president who is half British.

There is a really deep-rooted love and respect for the monarchy. That runs completely on a separate axis, if you like, from his views on the British government. I would argue for the Foreign Office of British Foreign Policy, for the Prime Minister. I mean, this is a useful way of resetting the dial.

When you look back at the track record of Donald Trump in the presence of royalty, and I was there in 2018 when he came to see the Queen for the first time, and then he had his first state visit the following year, 2019, and then he obviously came last year on his state visit. Every time he's with the royal family, he's on his best behavior. I mean, during all his visits with the late Queen, there was no tweeting. So there is not going to be any sort of Oval Office toe-curling embarrassing moment, I don't think. I think he will be very conscious that this has got to work.

This is the Global News Podcast. Now to another matter that's been on President Trump's mind over recent months, the new ballroom he's having built as part of an extension to the White House. Work has already started, but a judge has now ruled that construction has to stop because Mr. Trump doesn't have the authority to build it without approval from Congress. I heard more about what the judge said from our Washington correspondent, Ioni Wells.

He said that while Donald Trump is the steward of the White House at the moment, he isn't the owner, and so he doesn't have the authority to approve funding or large-scale alterations to federal property without the permission and approval of Congress. Essentially, he was saying that the preservation group, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, that have brought this lawsuit against the Ballroom Project, are likely to succeed in

What does the president actually want to do with the ballroom and why are his plans so controversial?

Well, he sees this as a chance to massively expand essentially the hosting space of the White House at the moment. Sometimes when large scale events are put on, they have to erect marquees or tents, for example, outside. And this is a way of increasing the capacity for hosting balls, big state dinners, for example. Although Trump has actually said recently that the ballroom is just, in his words, a shed for what's underneath and that there will also be this big military complex outside.

He have huge ambition for this project, which is part of his wider plans to make his mark on Washington and make various changes to the city while he's in office. Why it's controversial is the White House is one of the most symbolic buildings in the US.

I think there is a sense that critics, when they saw diggers going in and essentially deconstructing the east wing, tearing it down and starting to construct a new building on it, that they were pretty horrified that there were these huge changes being made to the White House without much input from the public or federal lawmakers. Has there been any reaction from the White House? What's this going to mean for the president's plans? Is he going to have to go to Congress?

Donald Trump on reagoinut itseänsä. Hän on postannut Truth Socialin. Hän on haastanut National Trust for Historic Preservation. Hän on saanut lainsäädäntöön tätä lainsäädäntöä. Hän on huomannut heidät radikaalisen luonnollisen ryhmän. Hän on huomannut heidät ympäristöjen ympäristöjen ympäristöjen. Hän on huomannut heidät ympäristöjen ympäristöjen. Hän on huomannut heidät ympäristöjen ympäristöjen. Hän on huomannut heidät ympäristöjen ympäristöjen.

So he's clearly, as expected, not happy at all with this decision. In terms of options going forward, the judge has said that it's not too late for him to go to Congress and seek approval. So if he did get that approval, then perhaps that would give him that authority to go ahead. Or he could potentially try to launch a legal appeal in the next two weeks. It is a short timeline, though, for him to successfully get that appeal approved in time to allow construction to continue.

Ioni Wells. To Denmark now, where an ambitious carbon capture plan will soon be underway. With human activities emitting record levels of carbon dioxide, carbon capture allows thousands of tons of CO2 that's being released from power stations and other industrial processes to be captured and then stored in depleted oil and gas fields in the North Sea.
