Trump to be hosted by King during ‘unprecedented' state visit
Donald Trump is scheduled for an unprecedented second state visit to the UK from 17 to 19 September. He will be hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, accompanied by Melania Trump. The invitation for this historic visit was formally extended by King Charles via Sir Keir Starmer during a meeting at the White House. Due to the House of Commons being in recess, Trump will not address Parliament during his visit, unlike French President Emmanuel Macron recently. This marks an unusual second state visit for a US leader, as previous second-term presidents typically had less formal engagements with the monarch.
