Donald Trump’s long-awaited state visit to the UK will take place on June 3-5, Buckingham Palace and Downing Street have confirmed.

The US president and first lady will be a guest of the Queen during the visit and also hold talks with prime minister Theresa May in Downing Street. President Trump will also attend an event in Portsmouth to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day, involving live performances and military displays.

Number 10 said the event would be “one of the greatest British military spectacles in recent history” involving a fly-past of RAF aircraft and more than 11 Royal Navy vessels.

“The UK and United States have a deep and enduring partnership that is rooted in our common history and shared interests,” said Mrs May. “We do more together than any two nations in the world and we are both safer and more prosperous because of our co-operation.”

When President Trump last visited Britain in the summer of 2017 there were demonstrations in London and in other cities.

He also sparked controversy by criticising Mrs May in an interview with The Sun newspaper that ran the day before he met the UK leader. Mr Trump criticised the way she was handling Brexit and suggested that a US-UK trade deal was unlikely, although he rapidly backtracked.
