Summary at a Glance

DONALD Trump has accepted an unprecedented second state visit to the UK after Sir Keir Starmer personally handed the former president a letter from King Charles inviting him back to Britain.

In his letter, His Majesty wrote: "Quite apart from this presenting an opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues of mutual interest, it would also offer a valuable chance to plan a historic second state visit to the United Kingdom.

Starmer, who shook hands with Trump outside the West Wing before their meeting, is making a bold diplomatic play—leveraging royal connections to strengthen ties as the US reshapes its global priorities.

The bombshell invite comes as Starmer and Trump go head-to-head over the future of Ukraine, with fears growing that the US could pull the plug on military support for Kyiv.

The visit will be Trump’s second, following his first in June 2019 when he was hosted at Buckingham Palace by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
