King Charles Invites Donald Trump for Historic Second State Visit to the UK

The unprecedented invitation, delivered by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, highlights efforts to strengthen US-UK relations.

King Charles III extended an invitation to US President Donald Trump for a second state visit to the United Kingdom, a rare and historic gesture for a sitting US president.
The invitation was delivered by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during his visit to the White House, where Trump expressed his gratitude and accepted the offer.
Trump's first state visit occurred in 2019 under Queen Elizabeth II, but traditionally US presidents are not invited for a second state visit during their tenure.
The letter from King Charles suggested preliminary meetings at Dumfries House or Balmoral Castle, both near Trump-owned golf courses in Scotland, to discuss the visit and shared interests.
The invitation underscores the unique relationship between the two nations, with Charles emphasizing the importance of collaboration on global challenges and shared values.
