“Trump, despite tradition, may receive a second state visit to Britain: what it is about The possibility of Trump’s second state visit to Great Britain is excluded due to the change of government, monarch and the break between presidencies. Such a case would be unprecedented, as no world leader has received two full-fledged state visits.”, — write on: unn.ua

Trump was hosted at Buckingham Palace by Queen Elizabeth during a state visit in 2019, when Theresa May was Prime Minister of Great Britain.
No other world leader has been received twice on an official state visit, although French President Jacques Chirac was received by the Queen in 1996 and 2004, the latter of which was billed as a “special visit” to mark the centenary of the Entente.
But government sources said that “Trump’s second state visit should not be ruled out because of three differences compared to 2019 – the break between his presidencies, the change of government from the Conservatives to Labor and the new monarch, Charles III,” the newspaper writes.
At the same time, as the publication writes, sources in the government denied Nigel Farage’s statements that the speaker of the country’s House of Commons, Lindsey Goyle, had already sent an invitation to the elected US president to speak in both houses of the British Parliament.
His predecessor, John Bercow, said he would block any invitation for Trump to address parliament during his state visit in 2019.
As the publication points out, it is not customary for US presidents to be asked to speak in the British Parliament during state visits. The last US president to do this was Barack Obama. Joe Biden, as president of the United States, did not even receive a full state visit organized by the monarch, although his presidency included the last year of the pandemic, the death of the Queen and the subsequent coronation of Charles III.
