Donald Trump has accepted an invitation for a second state visit to the UK from King Charles III, scheduled from September 17 to 19, at Windsor Castle.

• This visit marks an unprecedented second state visit for a US president, as such invitations are traditionally not extended during a second term.
• The visit will include a ceremonial welcome and a state banquet, although Trump’s program will likely prioritize security and limit public events.
• The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, previously presented Trump with the King’s invitation at the White House, underscoring ongoing diplomatic efforts related to Ukraine and trade.
