King Charles to host Trump in second UK state visit later this year
This makes Trump the US president the first elected political leader in modern times to be hosted for two state visits by a British monarch
Trump accepted an invitation from the king for a second state visit in February, making the US president the first elected political leader in modern times to be hosted for two state visits by a British monarch.
Majesty has known President Trump for many years and looks forward to hosting him and the first lady later this year,” a Palace aide said.
Last week, the “Manu Regia”, an official signed invitation from the monarch which signals the start of formal planning, was hand-delivered to the White House by British representatives, with confirmation of the exact date for the trip to follow.
Initially there were expectations that Trump would first come to Britain for a short trip where he would meet the king for a private meeting, ahead of the formal state visit.
