How UK will welcome Trump during historic state visit, from banquet to Red Arrows flypast
Donald Trump, King III. With the invitation of Charles and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, he will come to the United Kingdom for a rare second state visit.
Sir Keir, who disposed of the invitation in February, said that the US president’s trip would be “unprecedented” and “historical”. Mr. Trump made his first state visit to England in 2019 during his first presidency, where the mercy is the queen II. He was welcomed by Elizabeth.
Here is everything you need to know about the visit:
What is a state visit?
A state visit is an official journey to England by the president of another country. Traditionally, the leader will be invited by the ruler acting on the advice of government.
It is a great opportunity to mark the positive relationships between the two countries. In addition to the ceremony, it tends to have political debates between leaders.
It is unusual to offer a US president to visit a state for a second term. Instead, former presidents are often invited to tea or lunch with the ruler, as with Barack Obama and George W Bush.
Responding to the invitation of King and Sir Keir in February, Mr. Trump said this was “a great, great honor”.

What protests are planned for Trump’s state visit?
Against President Trump’s state visit, several vocal opponents were opposed to a few vocal oppositions that indicate the divided politics and stance on issues such as migration, climate change and Gaza.
On Wednesday, September 17, a ‘Welcome to Trump’ show by the Stop Trump coalition in London was planned. In 2018, the group organized a protest that attracted approximately 250,000 participants against the visit of the US president.
Stop Trump Coalition Spokesperson: uz We protest against this unqualified state visit to ensure that the world is not done in our step.
“The British government is spreading the red carpet, so we want to show Trump a great opposition and the creeping fascism – and we pressure our own government in England to resist Trump and disaster policies and show solidarity with people who already suffer from the USA to Palestine.”
The group also organized protests in Aberdeen and Edinburgh against Trump’s last visit to Scotland. Hundreds of demonstrators came out in two cities.
Liberal Democratic leader Sir Ed Davey said Trump would boycott the ceremonial feast to “send a message” about the US President and Sir Keir about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
