President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are traveling to the United Kingdom on Tuesday for a rare second state visit.
Second-term presidents are usually not invited for a second state visit, but back in February, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer hand-delivered an invitation from the king to the president.
Trump is also the first elected political leader to be hosted twice in modern times.
According to White House officials, the visit is meant to deepen the ties between the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States.
“The trip to the U.K. is going to be incredible,” Trump told reporters Sunday.
The president said Windsor Castle is “supposed to be amazing,” adding that “It’s going to be very exciting.”
King Charles III will host Trump at Windsor Castle.
During Trump’s previous visit, he was hosted at Buckingham Palace, and the visit was headed by Queen Elizabeth II.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Catherine, are expected to support Charles in Trump’s visit. Prince Andrew will not be present during the state visit.
For the first time, a U.S. president will take a carriage ride around Windsor Castle. Additional pomp and circumstance includes gun salutes from Windsor and London, and a flyover performed by Red Arrows and U.S. F-35 military jets.
On Trump’s final day in the U.K., at Chequers, Starmer’s country estate outside of London.
In addition to Starmer, Trump will meet with U.S. and U.K. business leaders, with the White House saying that new investments could be “more than 10 million, perhaps tens of billions,” ABC News reports.
Alongside Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Ambassador Warren Stevens and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles will be traveling to the U.K.
