Trump had warmly welcomed the offer of another state visit to Britain when he was handed the invitation by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the Oval Office in February, a diplomatic high point of their meeting, as Starmer has sought to cement UK-US ties and rally Trump’s backing in support of Ukraine against Russia.
King Charles III will host US President Donald Trump for a state visit in September, the second time Trump will have received the highest honor offered to a visiting dignitary by the UK.
The King will host Trump and first lady Melania Trump at Windsor Castle from Sept 17-19, Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Monday. It follows Trump’s previous three-day state visit during his first term in 2019, when he was hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II, Charles’s mother.
