This will be Mr Trump’s second state visit to the UK – an unprecedented gesture towards an American leader, having previously been feted by a state visit in 2019. Mr Jones told ITV’s Good Morning Britain the Government was “looking forward to welcoming” Mr Trump. The late Queen hosted Mr Trump during his first state visit. The September state visit comes after Charles visited Canada back in May where he opened the nation’s parliament. This week, French president Mr Macron and his wife Brigitte were hosted by the King and Queen during his three-day state visit.
