US President Donald Trump is in the UK for a second state visit, an unusual invitation extended by King Charles III, designed to strengthen diplomatic and personal relations. The visit follows a traditional protocol but includes some notable deviations.

• Trump is the first president ever to be invited for a second state visit, having been hosted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2019.
• The traditional parliamentary address will not occur due to a recess, prompting speculation about the timing by the Labour government.
• Unlike previous visits, Trump has no public engagements in London, instead meeting Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers, his country residence, amidst planned protests.
