Donald Trump’s security detail includes a heavily armored car worth £1.2 million and a specialized security team known as the Hawkeye “kill team.” During his second state visit to the UK, Trump is being hosted by King Charles at Windsor Castle, with tight security measures in place to ensure his safety. The security team is particularly vigilant due to recent events, including the fatal shooting of one of Trump’s allies.

A key component of Trump’s security setup is the £1.2 million Beast limousine, equipped with advanced security features such as five layers of bulletproof glass, an armor-plated fuel tank, tear gas launch capability, reinforced tires, and specialized chauffeur training. The Beast is renowned for its high level of protection against various threats, including bomb attacks and gunshots, with night vision cameras enhancing its capabilities.

The limousine accommodates seven seats, with two designated for Secret Service agents in the front and four in the back. Additionally, shotguns are discreetly positioned at the front of the vehicle as a precaution against potential attacks.

Trump will also be safeguarded by the Hawkeye team, responsible for protecting US presidents since the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981. Equipped with weapons like the SR-16 rifle, pistols, and stun grenades, the team is trained to respond swiftly to any perceived threat to the president’s safety.

Members of the security team undergo rigorous physical and tactical training, including a demanding fitness test and marksmanship exercises. Trump’s personal bodyguard carries the nuclear football, a briefcase containing a mechanism that allows the president to authorize a nuclear strike if necessary.

The heightened security measures will remain in place throughout Trump’s state visit to the UK and for the duration of his term in office.
