Keir Starmer gives Donald Trump state visit invitation from the King
The King has invited US President Donald Trump to make his second state visit.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer presented Trump with King Charles’ invitation letter on a trip to the White House.
Sir Kyle said the president’s last visit in 2019 was a “great success” and the invitation to the second was “really historic” and “unprecedented”.
Speaking to an Oval Office reporter after reading the letter, Trump said he accepted the invitation and visiting the “magic” country would be a “honor.”
King Charles was a “beautiful person, a great person”, he added.
Traditionally, the sophomore president of the United States did not provide state visits, but instead served tea or lunch with the monarch of Windsor Castle.
“In addition to this opportunity discussing a wide range of issues of mutual interest, it will also provide a valuable opportunity to plan a second historic state-owned visit to the UK,” said the letter from Trump to the camera.
“As you know, this is unprecedented in the U.S. president. That’s why I found a range of choices to discuss location and program content together.
“In doing so, I know we will further strengthen the special relationship between the two countries we both are proud of.”
Trump joked that he had to check if the signature was true.
The letter proposes a Scottish conference at Dumfries House or Balmore, the country with which Trump has made connections.
His mother was born and raised on Lewis Island, Herbridan. This year, he plans to open a new golf course in Aberdeenshire, named after his mother.
Sir Kyle gave Trump the letter as the two leaders asked questions before the two leaders were expected to cover topics including the Ukrainian war.
Sir Kyle told reporters on a plane to the United States that the peace agreement will not prevent Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine again unless the United States can provide security assurances.
Asked if the U.S. could provide such support, Trump said the proposed agreement with Ukraine on exposure to key minerals would provide a “back.”
“We’re backstage because we’re going to be there and we’re going to work in the country,” he said.
Sir Keel, who previously criticized the president, has been trying to build close ties with Trump since becoming prime minister.
But he was forced contradict The U.S. President accused Volodymyr Zelensky of being a dictator.
Asked about his dictator comments, Trump said: “I said, I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”
Trump said: “We will have some discussion on this soon and I think it will work well.
“I think we tend to go with your country.”
