Donald Trump has announced a second 'fest' with King Charles, which is expected to be a full state visit to the UK in September. The initial visit, proposed by Sir Keir Starmer, was meant to be a bilateral meeting to discuss the details of the state visit. The decision to have the state visit earlier than expected may be advantageous given the controversial nature of the first few months of Trump's second term. The UK government sees the state visit as an opportunity to use British soft power and the Royal Family to strengthen the strained special relationship with the US.
