Donald Trump Poised to Make History with Second UK State Visit

Trump is set to become the first elected politician to receive two state visits from the British Royal Family, with plans for the second visit reportedly underway for 2026.

Donald Trump, the U.S. President-elect, is expected to be invited for a second state visit to the UK, making him the first elected politician in history to receive this honor.
The visit is reportedly being planned for 2026, with British officials aiming to strengthen UK-US ties by leveraging Trump’s admiration for the monarchy.
Trump’s first state visit in 2019 included meetings with the late Queen Elizabeth II and commemorations of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, which he has since described as a historic and personal highlight.
Recent interactions between Trump and the Royal Family, including a private meeting with Prince William in Paris, are seen as positive steps toward fostering closer diplomatic relations.
The planned visit aligns with Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s strategy to build a constructive relationship with Trump, despite past political tensions between Trump and key UK officials.
