Washington:
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said Thursday that he hoped to meet with King Carlos III in Great Britain in September, in a second unprecedented state visit that London Hopes increases transatlantic ties.
The British prime minister, Keir Starmer, handed Trump an invitation from the monarch during an oval office in February while trying to win the US leader in rates and Ukraine.
“I think they are establishing a date for September,” Trump told reporters.
“They are going to do a second ‘fest’. And that is what it is, it is a festival, and it is beautiful, and it is the first time that has happened to a person,” Trump added.
“I am a friend of Charles. I have great respect for King Carlos and the family (heir of the throne Prince) William. We really have great respect for the family, and it is a great honor.”
The Daily Telegraph newspaper of Great Britain reported Thursday that the Royal Family was scheduled to receive Trump at Windsor Castle, the King’s Historic Home near London.
Trump will become the first political leader to receive a second state visit to Britain, after visiting in 2019 during his first term as president.
The 78 -year -old Republican has long been a vocal fan of the British royal family.
He also has a close affinity with the United Kingdom due to the fact that his mother was born in Scotland, where he has a golf course.
