Britain&#8217;s MPs, who have mixed views of Trump, will be out of Westminster, with some traveling to their annual party conferences. <\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;truly historic&#8221; and &#8220;unprecedented.&#8221; 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<p>But some in the governing Labour Party have called for Trump to be deprived of the chance.<\/p>\n<p>Labour MP Kate Osborne wrote to House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle in April asking him to stop Trump from addressing parliament, <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.parliament.uk\/early-day-motion\/63492\/second-state-visit-by-donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">and tabled a parliamentary motion<\/a> warning it would be &#8220;inappropriate for President Trump to address Parliament,&#8221; because of his record on &#8220;misogynism, racism and xenophobia.&#8221; It has been signed by 20 lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>The House of Commons speaker\u2019s office said: \u201cAny request made to address the houses of parliament will be considered in the usual way.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The high-profile visit coincides with a U.K. parliamentary recess \u2014 potentially helping sidestep a diplomatic row.
