Donald Trump could be offered second state visit to UK ‘because of change in monarch’

Changes such as new party in government and gap between presidencies may make unusual second invitation more likely

Donald Trump could be offered a second state visit to the UK, it has emerged, because of the change of both the government and the monarch since he was last invited.

However, government sources have denied claims from Nigel Farage that an invitation has already been extended by the House of Commons speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, for the US president-elect to address both Houses of Parliament.
