King Charles Invites Trump for Second State Visit
During Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to the White House, former President Donald Trump received a special letter from King Charles, inviting him for a historic second state visit to the UK. This makes Trump the first individual to be invited by both Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles. The letter, usually kept private, was openly shared by Trump, expressing his pride at the invitation to Windsor Castle.
King Charles emphasized the global challenges and the crucial roles of the US and UK on the world stage in the letter. Reflecting on Trump's previous visit in 2019, King Charles aims to strengthen the 'special relationship' between the two countries further.
While it remains unclear who will accompany Trump, speculations suggest his close ally, billionaire Elon Musk, may be present. The state visit coincides with British PM Keir Starmer's efforts to enhance ties with Trump.
Buckingham Palace indicated that the timing of Trump's second state visit is subject to schedule availability. It is customary for US presidents in their second term to engage in tea or lunch at Windsor Castle post their state visits, a tradition observed by previous presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
