The Date Of Donald Trump's Second State Visit To The UK Has Been Confirmed

Starmer handing over the invitation letter to Trump in February.Donald Trump will come to the UK for his unprecedented second state visit in September, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.The US president and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle from the 17th until the 19th.It means that Trump will be denied the opportunity to address both houses of Parliament as the Commons will be in recess for party conference season.The apparent snub comes after MPs and peers made clear their opposition to giving Trump that honour.It will be a bitter blow for Trump, who was also blocked from addressing parliament during his first state visit in 2019 after the then Commons speaker John Bercow said he would not allow it.Trump’s predecessors Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan all address parliament during their state visits, as have Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and French president Emmanuel Macron.Keir Starmer presented Trump with a letter from the King inviting him for the visit during a meeting at the White House in February.Starmer told him: “This is truly historic and unprecedented”.After reading it, Trump said it was a “great, great honour”, adding “and that says at Windsor – that’s really something”.The state visit comes after King Charles visited Canada in May, where he opened the nation’s parliament.Many Canadians saw the King’s two-day visit to Ottawa as a symbol of support for the country that has faced the unwanted attention of Trump’s trade war against his neighbour and threats to make it the 51st state of the USA.
