Trump Eyes Invitation for King Charles to the U.S. After Historic Two-Day State Visit, Report Says
Insiders say Trump plans to invite King Charles III to the United States as early as next year, with the United Kingdom slated for a leading role in next year’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
Former President Donald Trump is planning to invite King Charles III to the United States after what insiders described as a highly successful two-day state visit to Britain, according to a report.
According to a report in the New York Post, citing a Telegraph briefing, Trump’s team was buoyed by the red-carpet welcome and is weighing inviting Charles to the United States as early as next year. The trip included a procession, a Windsor Castle state banquet attended by more than 150 guests, and a speech by King Charles praising the enduring alliance between the two countries.
A senior White House official told The Telegraph that the visit was really fantastic and that the British know how to do this and set a high bar for such visits. The report also notes that the administration is considering giving the UK a prominent role in commemorations for the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence next year. The White House had not immediately responded to requests for comment.
Trump told reporters after the banquet that he and the king spent a long time together and that Charles is a great person, whom he first knew as Prince Charles. The king used an official Windsor address to praise the long shared history and the strong bond between the two nations.
Before boarding his flight home, Trump said he and Melania were grateful for Charles and Queen Camilla hosting the visit. The report highlights ongoing discussions about how Washington and London will coordinate the United States 250th anniversary commemorations, and notes that no public confirmation of an invitation had been issued by the White House.
The report underscores continued discussion of symbolic gestures and collaborative events as both governments consider how to mark the United States’ upcoming 250th anniversary, with officials on both sides weighing next steps for a possible invitation and other ceremonial ties. While the White House has not publicly confirmed any invitation plans, the account from the Telegraph through the Post highlights ongoing interest in a strengthened bilateral relationship amid broader geopolitical pressures.
