President Donald Trump has received an invitation from King Charles for a second state visit to the United Kingdom. The invitation was personally delivered by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his visit to the White House.Sir Keir described Trump’s previous state visit in 2019 as a "tremendous success" and called this latest invitation "truly historic" and "unprecedented." Traditionally, second-term U.S. presidents are not granted a state visit but are instead invited for tea or lunch with the monarch at Windsor Castle.
After reading the invitation in the Oval Office, Trump expressed his gratitude, stating that it would be an "honor" to visit the "fantastic" country. He also praised King Charles, calling him a "beautiful man, a wonderful man."During their meeting, Sir Keir and President Trump discussed key issues, including Ukraine, with the UK hoping to secure U.S. military support for a potential European peacekeeping force. Trade was also a major topic, as Britain seeks to avoid tariffs that Trump plans to impose on other nations.
