POLL: Is the UK right to give Donald Trump a second state visit?

The dates have been confirmed for Donald Trump's unprecedented second state visit. The US President will visit King Charles and Queen Camilla, alongside his wife Melania Trump, at Windsor Castle from September 17 until September 19.

Mr Trump was presented with a letter by Sir Keir Starmer inviting him to visit at the White House in February. He said it was a "great, great honour" but MPs, including 15 from the Labour Party, have since signed a motion calling on him not to be allowed to give a speech during the state visit. The MPs criticised his stance on the Ukraine and Russia war, as well as accusing him of "misogyny, racism and xenophobia".

Mr Trump was previously hosted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2019 and, while exact details of the latest visit are yet to be confirmed, he will likely be joined by all senior members of the Royal Family again this year.

Thousands of people lined the streets of London to protest against Trump during his last visit. The US President slammed Sadiq Khan as a "stone cold loser" on social media.

On Mr Trump's upcoming state visit, Buckingham Palace said: "The President of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump, accompanied by the First Lady Mrs. Melania Trump, has accepted an invitation from His Majesty The King to pay a State Visit to the United Kingdom from 17 September to 19 September 2025. His Majesty The King will host The President and Mrs. Trump at Windsor Castle."

King Charles hosted French President Emmanuel Macron last week. He took part in a carriage procession through Windsor with his wife, Brigitte, marking the first time a state visit had been held in the residence for over a decade.

The King also visited Canada at the end of May to mark the start of the leadership of Prime Minister Mark Carney.

He issued a message praising the "proud, resilient and compassionate country" which was seen as a symbol of support by Canadians after Mr Trump threatened to make the nation the 51st US state.
