Confirmed: Parliament Will Not Be Recalled To Let Donald Trump Address MPs And Peers

President Donald Trump speaks to the media on Sunday after attending the Club World Cup final in New Jersey. Parliament will not be recalled to let Donald Trump address MPs and peers during his state visit in the autumn, it has been confirmed.The US president will come to the UK from September 17 to 19 with his wife, First Lady Melania Trump.It will be the first time that any US president has been given two state visits.However, just like during the last one in 2019, Trump will not be able to address both houses of Parliament because the Commons will be in recess so that MPs can attend their party conferences.Reform UK leader Nigel Farage told GB News that parliament should be recalled to allow Trump to give an address.Under Westminster rules, the government must make a request to the Commons Speaker for parliament to be recalled.But No.10 sources have confirmed that there are no plans to do so for Trump.A government insider said: “I’m not aware of any plans to change the date of the visit or change parliament’s sitting dates either.”The move is likely to be seen as a snub for Trump, given his predecessors Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan all addressed parliament during their own state visits.Other heads of state who have been allowed to do so include Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and French president Emmanuel Macron, who addressed MPs and peers last week.The Trump snub comes after MPs and peers made clear their opposition to giving him that honour.It will be also be a personal blow for the president, who was blocked from addressing parliament during his first state visit in 2019 after the then Commons speaker John Bercow said he would not allow it.Meanwhile, it has also been revealed that Keir Starmer is set to meet Trump when he makes a private visit to one of his Scottish golf courses later this month.His official spokesman said: “The prime minister is pleased to take up the president’s invite to meet during his stay.”Related...The Date Of Donald Trump's Second State Visit To The UK Has Been ConfirmedTrump Snubbed!
