The high-profile visit coincides with a U.K. parliamentary recess \u2014 potentially helping sidestep a diplomatic row. Britain’s MPs, who have mixed views of Trump, will be out of Westminster, with some traveling to their annual party conferences. <\/p>\n

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer handed the invitation letter from King Charles to Trump during a high-stakes visit to the White House in February. The U.K. prime minister told Trump the second state visit would be “truly historic” and “unprecedented.” Second-term presidents have tended to be invited for lunch or tea with the monarch, rather than given the full pomp of a second state visit.<\/p>\n

But some in the governing Labour Party have called for Trump to be deprived of the chance.<\/p>\n

Labour MP Kate Osborne wrote to House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle in April asking him to stop Trump from addressing parliament, and tabled a parliamentary motion<\/a> warning it would be “inappropriate for President Trump to address Parliament,” because of his record on “misogynism, racism and xenophobia.” It has been signed by 20 lawmakers.<\/p>\n

It draws a stark contrast to French President Emmanuel Macron who addressed British lawmakers during his own state visit to the U.K. last week.<\/p>\n

The House of Commons speaker\u2019s office said: \u201cAny request made to address the houses of parliament will be considered in the usual way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The high-profile visit coincides with a U.K. parliamentary recess \u2014 potentially helping sidestep a diplomatic row.
