President Donald Trump has been invited to the U.K. by King Charles for a second state visit. A handwritten letter extending the invitation was in an envelope handed personally to Trump by U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who is visiting the White House Thursday. The invitation was accepted by Trump, who opened the letter on camera and called Charles “a great, great gentleman.” Trump said, “Well, that’s really nice,” as he displayed the letter, calling Charles “a beautiful man and a wonderful man.” Trump is a big fan of the royals. He met Queen Elizabeth II twice during his first presidency. His first visit was a working trip in July 2018, where he had tea with the queen at Windsor Castle and inspected a Guard of Honor. In June 2019, he returned for a full state visit, which included a grand state banquet at Buckingham Palace, and participation in events marking the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Both visits drew significant media attention and public protests.
"It's an invitation for a second state visit, this is really special, this has never happened before, this is unprecedented," Keir Starmer says
