THE GUARDIAN: Buckingham Palace to host US president during party conferences removing chance of Commons address
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.
Buckingham Palace announced on Monday that Trump would come to the UK from 17-19 September, soon after the House of Commons rises for its traditional break for the annual party conferences.
The king will host Trump and his wife, Melania, at Windsor Castle, though the palace has not yet set out any other details of the trip. » | Kiran Stacey | Political correspondent | Monday, July 14, 2025
