Donald Trump<\/strong> will get a full state visit with all the \u201cbells and whistles\u201d this year, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.<\/p>\n

While it is understood that King Charles III<\/strong> was originally preparing for a state visit next year<\/a>\u2014such visits take at least six months plan\u2014Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer<\/strong> has reportedly<\/a> pushed for the visit to be brought forward to 2025. The palace, which is preparing for the state visit of French President Emmanuel Macron<\/strong> in July, will face pressure as it accommodates another formal meeting before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Sources close to the palace say the King had hoped planning could take place at a more relaxed pace. Trump reportedly<\/a>\ufeffwanted a full state visit to take place this year, instead of a brief photo opportunity with King Charles when he visits the UK later this summer. There were rumors that Trump, who is visiting Scotland in the summer, would visit the King during Charles\u2019 summer holiday to Balmoral for an informal meeting. According to a palace aide, this was ruled out for logistical reasons.<\/p>\n

Beyond the diary planning issues, the king, who is also Canada\u2019s head of state, is aware<\/a> of ongoing tensions over President Trump\u2019s inflammatory comments about the country becoming America\u2019s 51st state. Starmer, keen to curry favor with President Trump at such a volatile time for world politics, is said to have pushed for an earlier visit where the red carpet will be rolled out for the President and First Lady Melania Trump.<\/strong> The announcement will no doubt delight Trump who is an anglophile<\/a> and great supporter of the British royals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the manu regia, the formal document required to initiate a state visit, was signed by the King and hand delivered to the White House last week. Buckingham Palace has yet to confirm dates for the visit, but it is likely to be September.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the King said, \u201cHis Majesty has known President Trump for many years and looks forward to hosting him and the first lady later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In May, Canada\u2019s Prime Minister Mark Carney<\/strong> said his country was \u201cnot impressed<\/a>\u201d with Britain\u2019s intent to host Trump again. It follows the King\u2019s whirlwind visit to Canada last month where as head of state, King Charles<\/strong> delivered a speech at the opening of the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa during which he pointedly noted<\/a> that \u201cthe True North is indeed strong and free.\u201d He didn\u2019t mention the names of anyone threatening that freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump will get a full state visit with all the \u201cbells and whistles\u201d this year, Buckingham Palace…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,32,1760,9729,7710,519,448,1018],"class_list":{"0":"post-213565","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-charles","10":"tag-charles-iii","11":"tag-donald-trump","12":"tag-king-charles","13":"tag-prince-charles","14":"tag-royal-families","15":"tag-royal-family","16":"tag-royals","17":"tag-white-house"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114744915914596191","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
