U.S. President Donald Trump has accepted an invitation from King Charles for a second state visit to Britain, marking an unprecedented diplomatic gesture. The invitation was delivered by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a White House meeting on Thursday.
President Donald Trump is set to make history as the first elected leader to be hosted for two state visits by a British monarch.
During a meeting in the Oval Office, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer handed Trump a letter from King Charles, extending the formal invitation. The letter, Starmer said, highlighted the "strength of the relationship" between the two nations.
Trump, visibly pleased, responded, "The answer is yes. We have our wonderful first lady, Melania, and myself. The answer is yes. And we look forward to being there and honouring the king and honouring your country."
The two leaders shared a brief exchange over the significance of the invite:
Starmer: "This is really special. This has never happened before. This is unprecedented."
Trump: "That's a great, great honour."
Starmer: "His Majesty, the King wants to make this even better than the last visit."
Trump: "And that says at Windsor, that's really something."
No date for the visit was announced.
Trump’s first state visit took place in June 2019 under Queen Elizabeth II, where he attended a state banquet, private lunch, and tea with then-Prince Charles. The upcoming visit is expected to reaffirm the close ties between Washington and London.
