Donald Trump accepted an invitation from King Charles on Thursday to visit Britain, making the U.S. President the first elected political leader in modern times to be hosted for two state visits by a British monarch, APA reports citing Reuters.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer handed Trump a letter from Charles during a press conference with reporters at the White House. Trump immediately accepted the invitation.
"This is really special. This has never happened before. This is unprecedented," Starmer told Trump as he handed him the letter.
"The answer is yes," Trump responded, telling Starmer that he would attend with first lady Melania Trump. "We look forward to being there and honoring the king, honoring the country."
