US President Donald Trump is set to make a historic second state visit to the UK, likely in September, following a formal invitation from King Charles III, The New York Times reported, citing Buckingham Palace`s statement. The King extended the invitation through a letter delivered by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a visit to the Oval Office in February.

According to The New York Times, Trump relished his last state visit to Britain in 2019, when Queen Elizabeth II hosted him. The queen threw him a lavish banquet at Buckingham Palace and gave him a royal artillery salute. In a documentary about his political comeback, "The Art of the Surge," Trump showed off a book of photos of himself and the queen, "who was fantastic, by the way," he said.

But Trump picked a fight with London`s mayor, Sadiq Khan, who is Muslim, just before his arrival, calling him a "stone-cold loser" on social media and accusing him of doing a terrible job of running Britain`s capital city, as per The New York Times. Khan had described Trump as "just one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat," likening the president`s language to that used by "fascists of the 20th century."
