Donald Trump has revealed plans for a possible September state visit to Britain at King Charles III’s invitation, describing the honor as unprecedented for a U.S. president.
Speaking to reporters, the president remarked, “They’re planning another celebration it’s magnificent, and no one’s ever received this twice before.” He emphasized his warm relationship with the royal family, particularly King Charles.
This proposed visit would mark a departure from protocol, as two-term presidents normally only qualify for lower-key royal receptions. Trump’s previous state visit in 2019 featured formal ceremonies with Queen Elizabeth II.
The invitation was personally delivered by Prime Minister Keir Starmer during February’s Washington meeting. The King suggested potential meeting locations in Scotland, acknowledging Trump’s ancestral connections to the region through his mother, who was born in the Outer Hebrides.
The high-profile visit could strengthen transatlantic ties as Britain seeks favorable trade terms with the U.S. While official confirmation is pending from UK authorities, Trump’s comments indicate advanced planning for the autumn event.
