President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump will visit Britain’s King Charles III from 17 to 19 September, Buckingham Palace announced Sunday.
It's reported that the King will host the couple at Windsor Castle during the official visit.
Trump said last month he had agreed to meet Charles after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer handed him a handwritten letter from the monarch in the Oval Office.
Unlike French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump is unlikely to address Parliament, as it will be in recess from 16 September to 13 October for party conferences, according to Sky News.
The U.S. president will be the first elected political leader in modern times to be hosted for two state visits by a British monarch. Trump and Melania’s 2019 trip hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II, drew large protests. Back then, London Mayor Sadiq Khan publicly criticized Trump ahead of his arrival.
Starmer and Trump are also due to meet in Scotland later this month, a source told Reuters last week, with details including the specific date yet to be finalised.
The two leaders have developed a warm relationship in recent months, and last month signed a framework trade deal on the sidelines of a G7 meeting that formally lowered some U.S. tariffs on imports from Britain.
In May, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney criticised Britain's invitation to Trump for a state visit, saying it undermined his government's effort to project a united front against the U.S. president's talk of annexing Canada.
