Trump to make second UK state visit in September

US President Donald Trump will make a state visit to the UK from 17–19 September at the invitation of King Charles III. The visit, hosted at Windsor Castle due to renovations at Buckingham Palace, marks a rare second state visit for a US president, according to BBC.

Trump will be accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and receive a full ceremonial welcome and state banquet, with senior royals, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, expected to attend.

The invitation, delivered by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in February, comes amid efforts to strengthen US-UK ties on trade and Ukraine. Public events will be limited due to security, and the House of Commons will be in recess during the visit, BBC reported.

Trump is also expected in Scotland later this month for the opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire, though no meeting with the King is planned ahead of the state visit.
