As Donald Trump prepares to take the presidential oath on January 20, the race for invites to Washington’s most elite gatherings intensifies. On January 17, the Hay-Adams Hotel, perched within sight of the White House, will host one of the season’s most talked-about events: the Stars, Stripes, and Union Jack soiree.
We are honored to welcome our special guest, the Honorable Nigel Farage, as we reaffirm the importance of the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

The event, organized by Andy Wigmore and Gerry Gunster of Gunster Strategies, is expected to draw 250 of the world’s most influential figures to celebrate the U.S.-UK “special relationship.”
When The Pavlovic Today reached out, Gunster exclusively confirmed that the VIP party on one of the most beautiful rooftops in DC is indeed happening.
“Gunster Strategies is proud to host the Stars, Stripes, and the Union Jack event for the second time at the Hay-Adams,” said Gunster.
“This year, we celebrate the 60th presidential inauguration and the smooth transition of government power. We are honored to welcome our special guest, the Honorable Nigel Farage, as we reaffirm the importance of the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.”
The timing is perfect for such a high-profile diplomatic affair, which will take place just three days before the inauguration. Among the invited guests are Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, and members of the Trump family.
For anyone speculating that Farage and Elon have had a falling out, think again. What unfolded over the past few days was nothing more than a political pantomime.
“They’re friends and always will be,” a source close to the Musk-Farage dynamic told The Pavlovic Today.
Peter Mandelson, Britain’s incoming ambassador to the U.S., will also attend, along with Members of Parliament from across the UK’s political spectrum.
Musk and Farage are friends and always will be.

The gathering will include a mix of senators, governors, and foreign dignitaries, as well as representatives from Somaliland, reportedly seeking U.S. recognition, alongside delegations from Ethiopia, Belize, Lebanon, and Central America. With tickets strictly by invitation only, demand for access to this exclusive rooftop event is unsurprisingly high.
The Pavlovic Today has learned that British companies are eager to forge connections with the incoming administration, and firms like Automated Analytics, an AI innovator, will be well represented.
This diplomatic celebration, held ahead of the inauguration, marks a symbolic renewal of the historic bond between the U.S. and the UK—a bond bolstered by Trump’s evident fondness for Britain, its traditions, and its crown.

I am deliriously happy for all of you. This is the way it’s supposed to be you poor people work so hard and now you get to celebrate you have earned it and you deserve this wonderful event.
It’s great to see the Republic of Somaliland participating. We believe the Trump administration has the potential to extend recognition to Somaliland, which could serve as a strategic counterbalance in the Red Sea region. Somaliland’s stability offers an opportunity to establish a secure naval base to police these vital waters, which have become a hotbed for piracy originating from neighboring Somalia’s Puntland region and terrorism threats from Houthi activities in Yemen. Recognition would not only bolster regional security but also help protect a critical trade route that facilitates around 12-15% of global trade and approximately 30% of containerized goods.
