Donald Trump Heads Back To UK For State Visit In June Before Crossing The Channel To France

Donald Trump is returning to the UK – this time for a state visit.

The U.S. President is to visit the UK between Monday 3 June to Wednesday 5 June at the invitation of Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

This will come nearly a year after his last visit to the UK, a working visit in July 2018, and this year’s trip will feature more pomp and ceremony. He will attend a “bilateral” meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May as well as meeting the Queen at Buckingham Palace during the trip. He and his wife Melania will also attend a ceremony in Portsmouth to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of D-Day, at one of the primary embarkation sites for the Allied operation that led to the liberation of Europe during World War II.
