Buckingham Palace invites Trump for trip at a time when UK parliament is not sitting, avoiding the prospect of him addressing House of Commons. Key US politics stories from Sunday 13 July.
King Charles has invited Donald Trump for an unprecedented second state visit in September, scheduling the trip for three days when parliament is not sitting and removing the possibility of the US president addressing parliament.
The visit is a coup for the White House, with Trump becoming the first elected politician in modern history to be granted two state visits, after his earlier one in 2019.
